Shillong: East Khasi Hills police are investigating Rocky Dkhar. Dkhar acts as the secretary of Dorbar Shnong Wahthapbroo. The case stems from a brutal assault allegation. Dkhar allegedly beat a local man named Freddy.
The trouble started at 1 a.m. on November 6 in Wahthapbroo. Freddy sat with friends when Dkhar approached. Dkhar demanded the man fetch him illicit liquor. Freddy questioned that order. The argument turned into a violent physical fight. Freddy suffered injuries to his eyes, mouth, and face.
R Lyngdoh Lyngkhoi, the victim's wife, filed an FIR at Lumdiengjri Police Station. Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem confirmed the active investigation on Sunday. The family remains frustrated with the pace of justice. They claim the police have not taken appropriate action yet.
The victim’s sister criticized the village leader on Saturday evening. She told reporters: "Instead of advising young people against gathering late at night, a village leader should not take the law into his own hands." Dkhar reportedly asked the family for an apology. The family is waiting to assess the full extent of the injuries before they talk about any reconciliation.
