Darjeeling: GJM leader Roshan Giri’s house ransacked, documents stolen

TNN, Oct 20, 2017, DARJEELING: Alleged miscreants broke open the door lock of absconding Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) general secretary Roshan Giri's house in the Chandmari area late on Wednesday night, ransacked the house and fled with Giri's computer and some incriminating documents.

It all happened when Giri's mother Deepa, the only family member living in that house, had gone to her neighbour's place to spend the night there.

The development has sprung a surprise among Darjeeling residents, because Giri's house came under police scanner hours within a Darjeeling court issued proclamation orders against Morcha president Bimal Gurung and five others including the party general secretary on Wednesday.

The development comes close on the heels of the attacks on Gurung loyalists' houses at the GJM strongman's own turf at Patlebas a few days ago.

Giri's mother couldn't identify the miscreants. "I came back home after they left. I had stayed put at my neighbour's house last night. One of my neighbours asked me to stay at her place because I was alone in the house. Around midnight, I could hear loud noises nearby and saw a mob vandalizing my house. I was too scared to go out. I went there only after they were gone and saw two doors damaged and a computer and some important documents robbed. I could not identify the people," said Deepa.

The information has reached Gorkha Janmukti Morcha general secretary Roshan Giri, who is likely to lodge a police complaint against the ransacking.
