"We produced two of the five accused before a magistrate. They refused to give any statement. But we have enough evidence against them. We are also waiting for the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report," Kharkongor said.
It is their right not to confess. But we have concrete evidence, which is very crucial in this case. - Herbert Kharkongor, Superintendent of Police, Shillong City
