Inspector General of the Darjeeling Range Manoj Verma said his team arrested at least 10 persons from Sikkim, suspected to be associated with the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), on Friday.
However, the Sikkim police “has not allowed” the Bengal police to take the arrested persons back to West Bengal, a senior Sikkim police official told The Hindu .
“They [the Bengal Police] had no papers or warrants. They also did not inform the Sikkim police. They will have to approach a Sikkim court to take custody of the arrested men,” the official said.
