All the knives collected during the recent knife surrender rally in Mawlai were deposited in a surprise move intended to ridicule the police version that the former HNLC leader challenged the police with a knife resulting in the firing on August 13.

The leaders of Mawlai group displayed placards and shouted  slogans, “MDA government suspend immediately the three top cops, Director General of Police, SP, East Jaintia Hills and DSP Traffic Shillong.”
