Shillong: A team of Meghalaya Police commandos on Tuesday came under attack from Garo militants who fired at them and lobbed an IED which, however, failed to explode.
Around 10 Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) commandos were on a patrol when Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants fired at them at Rajarankati near Chokpot in the state's South Garo Hills district this afternoon, DIG (Western Range) GHP Raju said.
A heavy exchange of fire took place between the two sides, but there was no injury or casualty, he said.
While fleeing, the GNLA militants lobbed a grenade towards the commandos but it did not explode.
A team from the BSF and CRPF have also been called to the place to diffuse the bomb.
