Post-Convoy Interception: Arunachal Pradesh Authorities Probe Alleged Connection to Meghalaya CM's Visit
Meghalaya Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma, embarked on a four-day visit to various locations in Arunachal Pradesh, with Longding, Tezu, and Basar among his scheduled destinations. However, the visit took an unexpected turn when law enforcement authorities intervened.
According to Superintendent of Police, Longding, Dekio Gumja, the interception occurred at the Kanubari check post around 3:30 pm. The seized cash, amounting to Rs 1 crore, was found concealed within a vehicle bearing registration number AS-01-ET-5252. The money allegedly belonged to an individual identified as Harshvardhan Singh.
In the aftermath of the seizure, questions arise regarding the vehicle's association with the official convoy. SP Gumja stated that authorities are yet to ascertain whether the intercepted car was indeed part of the Chief Minister's convoy or operated independently.
The incident underscores the vigilance and proactive measures adopted by law enforcement agencies to combat illicit activities and maintain law and order in the region. Further investigations are underway to determine the origin and intended use of the substantial amount of cash seized by Longding Police.
