Govts of Meghalaya, Assam Have Written to CBI to Take Over Mukroh Firing Incident: Prestone Tynsong

Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Thursday said the state government and the Assam administration have written to the CBI, requesting it to take over the probe into last year’s Mukroh firing incident along the disputed border between the two northeastern states.

The governments of Assam and Meghalaya had on September 30 decided to request the CBI to take over the investigation into the 2022 Mukroh violence, in which six people were killed, he said. “We have already written a letter. Assam (Assam government) has also done it," Tynsong said.
