MAGWAY DIVISION- An official of Yesagyo PDF told the media that two policemen coming out from a beer pub near Pakanggyi Police Station were arrested alive but as they resisted and ran away, so they were shot down. One sergeant was reportedly killed on the spot and another had fled.
On October 14, at around 3:30 p.m. Police Sergeant Naing Lin and his fellow private from Pakanggyi Police Station were drinking beer at a pub near Pahanggyi Temple when the revolutionary forces went in and arrested them.
“The junta launched offensives in Yelalkyun (island) and we were there for back-up. When we received reports about the policemen in the pub, we went there and arrested them according to the law of war prisoners. But as they tried to escape, we had to shoot. The sergeant Naing Lin died on the spot and the other policeman escaped with gunshot wounds. Until now, I heard that he is still missing. It’s close to Pakanggyi police station, so we stopped looking for them and confiscated the items they brought,” stated the PDF official.
The shooting and arrest were done by the People’s Defense Forces of Yesagyo Township, and the members were not harmed during the mission. A motorcycle, a phone, and a knife belonging to the policemen were reportedly confiscated.
