”I have told my officers to thoroughly investigate into the entire incident. If credible evidences are found against the minister we will charge sheet him as per the law of the land,” he told UNI here.
Mr Krishan said DIG (Eastern Range) D K Rapthap has been instructed to supervise the investigation into the cases against the minister for allegedly assaulting and threatening people, even as investigations into the incidents have already started.
Four cases have been registered against Mr Massar at Pynursla police station under various IPC sections for his alleged criminal intimidation, wrongful restraint, voluntarily causing grievous hurt to his complainants, he said.
The DGP also said that the minister had also lodged an FIR seeking action against the persons involved in the torching of his three vehicles and his rented house at Pynursla.
On Tuesday night, an irate mob burnt down three vehicles and the rented house of Mr Massar after news spread about the incidents of Mr Massar’s assaulting and threatening people.
”We will find out the truth and depending on the truth appropriate actions will be taken,” Mr Krishan stated.
Mr Massar, an Independent MLA, is supporting the Nationalist Congress Party-backed Meghalaya
Progressive Alliance government and had been alleged of assaulting and threatening people during the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council polls held on February 10, where his wife Grace Kharpuri was contesting as an Independent candidate from Nongshken constituency.
