Tura, January 28 : The West Garo Hills District Police have launched an investigation after a threatening poster, allegedly bearing the insignia of ISIS-K and warning the Garo community to “vacate land before 2027,” was found pasted on an electric pole near Law College, Araimile, Tura.
According to police reports, the poster, titled “Warning to Garos,” mentioned several localities including Phulbari, Rajabala, Tikrikilla, Selsella, Garobadha, and Tura, and carried the name “Aminur Islam – Plain Belt Area Commander (ISIS-K)”. Authorities believe it to be the work of individuals or groups with vested interests attempting to create communal tension and panic in the region.
Superintendent of Police Abraham T. Sangma, IPS, stated that the poster has been removed and sent for forensic examination. A case has been registered at Araimile Police Station, and efforts are ongoing to trace those responsible for creating and circulating the document.
“Preliminary assessment indicates this could be a deliberate attempt to spread fear and disturb the peace. Strict action will be taken against those involved,” said SP Sangma.
The district police have urged residents not to panic or spread unverified information on social media. Authorities warned that any attempt to incite communal disharmony will be dealt with firmly under relevant sections of law.
