Earlier, the group, in a letter sent via email to Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma, threatened a series of bomb attacks targeting educational institutions.
The group said that it will carry out bomb blasts targeting educational institutions in Meghalaya as a protest against high unemployment in the state.
The group has threatened to carry out bomb blasts “every single week starting 1st May 2022”.
The group – Lawei ba Phyrnai identified itself as a “terror outfit”, formed by 37 “qualified and talented jobless youths”.
In the letter, the Lawei ba Phyrnai group also mentioned their targets.
“Our first target is the MBOSE building; next will be St. Anthony’s School and College where I passed out from. And even NEHU where I received my diploma. And yes, we will keep planting bombs till you and your government come up with a solution to employ every single Meghalayan out there,” the threat letter stated.
In a second email, the publicity secretary of the “terror outfit” identified itself as a former school teacher who “contract was terminated”.
“Lawei ba Phyrnai was originally an educational society before members and sponsors laid down their pens in exchange for AK-47s,” the “terror outfit” said.
“So let the games begin,” it added.
