SHILLONG, Aug 28 (PTI): Two social organisations today demanded resignation of Meghalaya Home Minister H D R Lyngdoh after accusing him of encouraging bootlegging and hindering police duty.
Lyngdoh landed in a controversy after his secretary allegedly asked a police officer to drop charges against an illicit liquor trader who was caught yesterday on the outskirts of the city.
B C Shadap, police officer in charge at Bhoirymbong had seized a commercial vehicle carrying 3,500 bottles of illicit liquor and detained the driver in Umroi.
Shadap told reporters that a person, identifying himself as the secretary to the Home Minister, called him later to dismiss the case.
"I told him that you cannot bribe me. I will continue pursuing the matter and forward it to the court," he said.
The Civil Services Women Organisation (CSWO) and the Meghalaya Humanity Social Organisation (MHSO) demanded resignation from the minister.
