Shillong, April 5: The state police is investigating into an email sent by a group called “Lawei ba Phyrnai”, which had threatened to plant series of bomb attacks targeting educational institutions as a mark of protest against the rising unemployment problem in the state.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui said that the police are on the job to investigate the matter.

“Police are doing their duty so let us see,” he said.

In its letter sent via email to the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma recently, the “Lawei ba Phyrnai”, which has identified itself as a “terror outfit” formed by 37 well qualified and talented jobless youth, had threatened that “bombs will go off every single week starting 1st May 2022”.

“I’m also emailing you to let you know that I and 36 other well qualified and talented jobless youths have formed an outfit. A terror outfit, of course — with free sponsored arms and ammunition — whose capability and strength will come to display in a couple of weeks from now,” it said.

“Our first target is the MBOSE building; next will be St. Anthony’s School and College where I passed out from. And even NEHU where I received my diploma. And yes, we will keep planting bombs till you and your government comes up with a solution to employ ever single Meghalayan out there,” the email further stated.
