Meghalaya firing: Shillong vigil turns ugly, petrol bombs hurled, police fire tear gas

Shillong: The anger against the death of five farmers in Meghalaya’s West Jaintia Hills continues to simmer in Shillong.

Several groups had called for a collective candlelight vigil in the capital, however, it soon turned into chaos when protesters destroyed public property despite leaders trying their best to calm the situation.

According to inputs from our Shillong correspondent, a bus ferrying CRPF was attacked and some protesters even tried to burn the bus when it was parked.
