West Bengal police has intensified its efforts to nab Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, GJM chief Bimal Gurung after Friday’s gun battle, in which a policeman was killed. Police meanwhile arrested a man in Darjeeling for his suspected links to Friday’s violence.
Gurung is on the run since August after the West Bengal government lodged cases against him for his alleged involvement in several bomb blasts in Darjeeling and adjoining areas. The GJM is an ally of the BJP in the National Democratic Alliance.
