DARJEELING: Police finally arrested GNLF Kurseong president I N Pradhan in connection with Monday’s firing at Ghayabari, in which two Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) activists were injured. Pradhan was held from Sukna, about 25 km from Kurseong. Pradhan had been absconding since the incident. Officers, however, refused to divulge exactly where he was arrested from.
"Informers tipped us off about Pradhan’s location. We reached the spot around 10.30 am and arrested him," said Darjeeling additional SP Jayanta Pal.
Pradhan was produced in Kurseong court later in the day. The subdivisional judicial magistrate remanded him in custody.
