A police station in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district was attacked and three vehicles and a two-wheeler parked inside the compound were torched after police personnel allegedly refused to register complaints by two groups engaged in an altercation, a senior officer said on Friday.

The incident occurred at Laitumkhrah Police Station here on Thursday night when the two groups were involved in a heated exchange of words and argued with policemen on duty over the filing of their complaints, he said.
