Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) Joint
Secretary and Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) Sabha Member
Benoy Tamang has been granted bail in the Sibchu case. Chief Judicial
Magistrate Choudhary Hifajat Karim accepted the bail appeal made in
behalf of the plaintiff by Swarup Mandal, Sandeep Dutta and Dinesh Rai.
It may be noted that on 8th February
2011, GJM cadres and supporters led by party president Bimal Gurung had
marched from Kumani near Kalimpong and defying Section 144 and breaking
barricade set by the Police. The ensuing melee had resulted in police
firing at the protesters and causing the death of three GJM cadres.
According to sources, Tamang’s bail has
also pointed to the fact that a tactic understanding has been reached
between the State Government and the GJM whereby the imprisoned GJM
leaders and cadres will be released and the GJM would participate in the
GTA.
