Shillong, June 28: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday condemned the recent brutal assault on a woman in West Garo Hills District and assured stern action against the culprits involved in the act.

“We condemn all these kinds of activities and the individuals, who are responsible for this, strict action will be taken against them,” Sangma told reporters.

“What they did was wrong. If there is any issue, any concern, then we should follow the process and the legal process should be followed. But one cannot take this entire issue in their own hands and think that they can just simply go ahead and take the law into their own hands in one way and try to teach somebody a lesson, which is incorrect. And the way it happened also was very incorrect. So, we will take strict actions against those people, who are involved,” he said.

So far, six persons have been arrested for their involvement in the public flogging of the woman.
