    This is very condemnable and what is triggering so much strange sensational killings in West Garo Hills…what is the motive and why are innocents targeted? what is going on and why are the Police Headquarter not taking serious note on lives being lost and not replacing the incompetent team of Mukesh Singh, Bruno and Janice who are also suspects in these killings too, as motive is strong. They still need more diversion as more tampering’s will be unearth in the next couple of days on the Balsan Marak case…we convey our condolences to the bereaved family members of all lives lost in Garo Hills…and seek that the Govt stop playing with lives of the people and to appoint good officers who will get to the perpetrators and get information on why and who is responsible for all these reckless killings.
