Jailed chairman of the militant outfit Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), Champion Sangma, was today granted bail by a local court here in one case.
Chief Judicial Magistrate M Joshi granted bail to Sangma in the case pertaining to a brawl in the high security ward of the Shillong District Jail with jailer B R Marak naming him as one of the accused in the case.
The militant leader was currently serving a jail term of three years after being booked under the Meghalaya Preventive Detention Act for deserting the state police and joining the GNLA.
Sangma was arrested on July 30, 2012, from a place along the Indo-Bangladesh border, hours after Bangladesh authorities pushed him into India after completing a jail term in that country.
