Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma said that probe into the Mukroh firing incident along the Assam border will be handed over to the CBI after completion of some minor formalities.
The CM-level talks between Assam and Meghalaya on the interstate boundary issues had decided to wind up the judicial commission, which was instituted to probe the Mukroh firing incident and replace it with an independent inquiry by the CBI.
The CBI will register the case at a neutral place other than Guwahati and Shillong to maintain the neutrality of investigation, the Meghalaya CM informed.
