Shillong ( Meghalaya), July 26 : The members of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, Meghalaya Unit today met the Governor of Meghalaya, Phagu Chauhan at Raj Bhavan, here .
In the meeting, the members placed a memorandum before the Governor seeking his intervention to restore peace and security in the region in light of the recent incident of assault in Mahadev Khola Dham situated near 101 area, on July 24, 2023.
The organization has requested for a comprehensive and unbiased investigation into the matter in order to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Meanwhile, The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) today filed a First Information Report (FIR) against a Twitter account named “Legal Rights Observatory-LRO @LegalLRO” for allegedly tagging them as ‘Goons’ in Mahadev Khola Assault last Monday.
According to the FIR lodged with The Superintendent of Police (City), Shillong, East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya, James H. Mawphniang, the Legal Affairs Secretary of the Khasi Students’ Union, stated that on the July 24, 2023, an incident occurred at Mahadev Khola, Shillong, involving a minor scuffle between two parties. However, the Khasi Students’ Union and its members had no connection with the incident.
Despite this, the Twitter account in question falsely mentioned the Union’s involvement in assaulting priests, devotees, and other individuals, while also accusing Presbyterian Churches of hatemongering.
These misleading tweets and posts are being circulated on social media, tarnishing the reputation of the Khasi Students’ Union and misrepresenting the actual events.
So far, five persons, including two juveniles, have been arrested in connection with the Mahadev Khola incident last Monday where a woman was attacked and injured.
