In a major breakthrough, Ri Bhoi District Police arrested four individuals allegedly involved in a series of robberies along National Highway 6 (NH 6) for the past few months. The arrests come after a robbery incident in the early hours of Wednesday, in which a Mahindra pickup truck loaded with fish was intercepted, and the driver was assaulted and robbed of cash and mobile phones.
The three have been identified as Cyfrank Paul Pariat (25), who was heading the sleeper cell as senior cadre of HNLC, Kitbok Mujai (23) and Barnabas Lyngdoh (49), Ri Bhoi SP Jagpal Singh Dhanoa said in a statement.
