The Shillong Times reports that suspected militants belonging to the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) targeted a Government revenue collection point belonging to the Taxation-Directorate of Mineral Resources (DMR) lobbing a hand grenade that failed to explode during the late evening hours of January 31 in North Garo Hills District. Preliminary reports indicate that the militants lobbed a hand grenade outside the premises of the DMR office in Dainadubi in North Garo Hills shortly after 6:30 pm but the bomb failed to explode. It is strongly suspected that the GNLA may have lobbed the grenade following non-compliance to their extortion demands by the department staff posted in the area. In 2012, suspected Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) militants had also attacked the same office compound by lobbing a grenade which failed to explode. The LAEF had demanded a large sum of money from the staff manning the check point.

The four locals who were arrested and acting as conduits to sell the arms to militant groups, were identified as Henus G Momin (25) and Costing A Marak (32) of Ampati, Tinchu Ch Momin (19) of Babadam and Panseng A Sangma (35) of Dobasipara, Tura.
