East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police, Rituraj Ravi has been transferred and posted as Commandant, 6th MLP Bn, Umran and Sylvester Nongtnger will return in his place.
The transfer comes four days after Ravi was summoned by the Meghalaya Human Rights Commission (MHRC) to appear before it in person on June 20 following an incident in Shillong at the site of the hunger strike of Bindas Syiem.
Syiem had been on hunger strike in protest over a dilapidated road. On the night of June 9, Ravi had gone to the site of the protest at the parking lot near the Secretariat with the ostensible intention of taking Syiem for a medical examination given her lack of food. This was resolutely opposed by her supporters.
