The police enquiry into the alleged vehicle scam in the Police Department involving suspended police officer Gabriel K. Iangrai is almost complete.
This was told by Additional Advocate General K Khan during hearing of the PIL filed by Riewad V. Warjri in the Meghalaya High Court today.
The division bench of Chief Justice I P Mukerji and Justice Wanlura Diengdoh has listed the PIL for hearing on December 2 to enable the government’s lawyer to produce a short report regarding the outcome of the inquiry.
The petitioners claimed that different vehicles were purchased by the Police Department since 2019 without any valid sanction from the competent authority and that a total number of 29 official vehicles were in the personal custody of Iangrai who was then the Assistant Inspector General (Administration) of the Meghalaya Police.
