A member of the Khasi Students Union or KSU was killed and several others were injured after a clash broke out between KSU and non-tribals in Meghalaya. Meanwhile, mobile and net services have been suspended for the next 48 hours. The government has imposed curfew in Shella, where the incident happened after non-tribals were attacked. According to reports six were injured and one of them received a stab wound.
According to sources, the incident took place after a meeting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and to demand Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Meghalaya, organised by KSU and other pro-ILP civil society groups.Several KSU members and policemen were injured in the clash. Vehicles were also vandalised by a mob. It is still unclear what prompted the group to attack those present in the meeting. The KSU has been extremely vocal against the CAA despite a large part of Meghalaya, barring a few areas, which are not under the 6th Schedule, being exempted from the CAA. The person who has died has been identified as Lurshai Hynniewta of Sohra.
