Summary:
The journalists of Northeast Now have registered formal complaints with multiple authorities against Meghalaya Police's despicable aim to gag the media. The complaint said that successive insistent communications from Meghalaya Police have raised a serious question about the state police force's intentions to gag the media. The police officer asked the news portal to immediately remove a news report and also to 'provide the authenticity of the source of information' to the Meghalaya Police. Despite the pressure from Meghalaya Police, the journalists stood by the report, and did not remove it. The journalists from Northeast Now requested the authorities to take cognizance of Meghalaya Police's arbitrary move to muffle the media, and also bail out the members of the media fraternity from the situation..
