PRADIP LOHAGUN
KALIMPONG
17 Oct 2013
The
state government has made matters worse for the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha
leaders already in custody by slapping new charges against them. Leaders
including Kalyan Dewan, Binay Tamang, Kavita Gurung and Nima Tamang
have been charged with torching the house of hill Trinamool Congress
leader KN Subba.
Kalyan Dewan, Binay Tamang and Kavita
Gurung were presented today before the Kalimpong ACJM court, but Nima
Tamang was not seen around. The trio was brought from Jalpaiguri and
charged for preventing the entry of Subba to Gorubathan, torching of his
residence and for conspiring and obstructing the task of the police.
The three have been charged under
Sections 120B/143/427/436/447/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The bail
application submitted by defence lawyer Rajiv Purajuli was rejected and
the court has sentenced them to 14 days judicial custody. However, the
three have been granted bail on other charges such as waving black flags
to minister Gautam Deb and blocking of NH 31A.
