Kohima, August 22 (EMN): In a late report, it was reported that some unidentified miscreant(s) fired gun shots at the gate of Hotel Vivor on late Monday night.
Talking to Eastern Mirror, the general manager of Hotel Vivor informed that the firing took place between 10.30 - 10. 35 pm.
The shots were reportedly fired right in front of a male staff who was standing inside the closed gate. The hotel staff was about to leave home after finishing his shift, it was informed.
Right after the firing, the manager informed that she called up the officer-in-charge of North PS who deputed some police personnel to the spot immediately.
Upon their arrival, the police along with the hotel staffs searched the area. Though the miscreant(s) had fled the scene by then, yet, they discovered the bullet marks. It was informed that three bullets hit the concrete wall, while one hit the outer part of the main gate.
The manager, however, said that they heard the sound of five to six shots, some of which must have been fired in the air.
It is suspected that the miscreant(s) were travelling in a four wheeler, as none of the hotel staffs heard the sound of any motor cycle passing through at that moment. The hotel staffs even failed to find out which side the miscreant(s) were headed to.
"As for us, the safety of our guests and staff is the first priority. An incident like this in front of the hotel gate is not acceptable at all," the manager said while condemning the incident.
An FIR was filed in this regard by the hotel management authority, it was informed.
The NPF Press and Information Cell on the other hand has termed it as the handiwork of "paid miscreants" of the political adversaries of Neiphiu Rio "on the eve of NPF CEC Meeting".
