The Meghalaya Police has announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to the arrest of Sohan D Shira, a dreaded militant and self-styled commander-in-chief of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). The police have also put price tags on several other leaders, with cash rewards ranging from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 50,000.
State police chief N Ramachandran on Sunday asked people having information to “quietly” call up the police on a special telephone number and also send information to a specific e-mail address. “Quietly give us a ring and discharge your responsibility as a citizen,” the DGP said in a press release.
He also gave out a list of 12 “commanders” of the GNLA information about whom would fetch a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh each. They included deputy C-in-C Rupanto R Marak, Baichung Ch Momin, Kram Marak, Savio R Marak, Babang William, Walshrang Sangma, Philiport alias Rakban, Hedeo Ch Momin, Jack Marak, Reading T Sangma and Bryan Sim R Marak.
“Sohan and all other commanders of the GNLA are wanted in senseless killings, bombings, kidnapping and extortion cases in Meghalaya,” the DGP’s statement said.
Headed by Champion R Sangma, a DySP of the Meghalaya Police who had deserted the force to float the underground group about three years ago, the GNLA has killed as many as 30 people in the state.
The police have also announced a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh to persons who help the police in arresting any cadre armed with AK-series rifles and Rs 50,000 in nabbing a cadre with small arms or grenades.
