Meghalaya Home Minister James P K Sangma Saturday said the state police will soon crack the attempted murder case of RTI activist Agnes Kharshiing who was attacked by the mining mafia on November 8.
Kharshiing is battling for life at the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) super-specialty hospital near here after she was found unconscious near illegal coal mines in East Jaintia district.
Two persons were arrested for the alleged attempted murder.
"We will be able to crack this case very soon. We have already managed to nab two suspects so we are quite hopeful that things will progress," James told mediapersons after visiting Kharshiing at NEIGRIHMS.
"We feel the police department is equipped to handle this case," he added.
Condemning the attempt on her life by the coal mafia, the home minister said, "I can assure you that we are seriously looking into this matter (illegal coal mining)."
