The West Bengal CID on Friday arrested three top leaders of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) from Delhi.
D.K.Pradhan, P.T. Ola and Tilak Chandra Roka were arrested from Gurugram , CID said. “They are being brought to Kolkata. We will see where they can be produced,” Nishat Pervez, DIG (Operations) of CID, told The Hindu . He said they were booked under several Sections of the IPC, including 307 (attempt to murder), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy).
Meanwhile, GJM president Bimal Gurung has circulated a video message urging people to teach rebel GJM leader Binoy Tamang a lesson. Mr. Tamang has been nominated as chairperson of the newly constituted Gorkhaland Territorial Administration. “I have already said that these two [Mr. Tamang and Anit Thapa] are colluding with the State government to derail the Gorkhaland movement. I am urging the Gorkhas to punish them,” Mr. Gurung said.
Mr. Tamang reacted by saying that there was “no gain indulging in immature politics and we have to move forward with a proper strategy while rectifying our past mistakes.”
