GUWHATI: Curfew was imposed in some parts of Meghalaya’s capital Shillong on Friday following a violent clash that broke out between the police and an unruly mob in the city’s Motphran area.

The clash erupted after a bus conductor was allegedly assaulted by a group of people residing at Them Aew Mawlong (Harijan’s lane). 

However, the situation turned volatile later in the night when the mob attempted to march towards Them Mawlong and started pelting stones at the police deployed in the area. 

A journalist and four civilians were injured in the clash.
