Shillong, Oct 29 : A tribal woman was shot at by Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants in Meghalaya, police said today.
Rabbella Ch Marak was shot on her left hand and back by GNLA militants at Nengmandalgre village in East Garo Hills district yesterday, suspecting her to be a police informer, police said.
However, GNLA political secretary Bikdot Nikjang Marak claimed that Ms Marak was involved in gathering information of the outfit.
'' We had no intention to kill her. We only wanted to punish her because she refused to listen to our warnings. She was found collaborating with police on two previous occasions also,'' a local daily quoting the GNLA political secretary Bikdot Nikjang Marak stated.
However, police officials have denied the allegation.
The victim, now admitted at private hospital in West Garo Hills district, is said to be out of danger.
Meanwhile, police have registered a case.
