Guwahati, Aug. 21 -- Three senior Khasi Students' Union (KSU) leaders arrested after disturbances during the group's motorcycle rally have been moved from Shillong to jails in other parts of Meghalaya, as security was strengthened following the incidents.

KSU president Raymond Kharjana has reportedly been sent to Williamnagar District Jail in East Garo Hills. The union's vice-president Pynkmenlang Sanmiet and general secretary Reuben Najiar have been taken to Tura District Jail in West Garo Hills.
