Kolkata:The CBI on Monday approached the Calcutta High Court seeking an order to transfer the Madan Tamang killing trial from a Darjeeling court to a CBI court at a sessions court in Kolkata on the grounds of security. Advocate Himangsu De, counsel of the CBI, pleaded that the law and order situation in the hills was deteriorating and not favourable for holding the trial. Justice Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia fixed the next date of hearing on June 19. Madan Tamang, president of the All India Gorkha League, was killed in broad daylight Darjeeling in May 2010. The CID began investigation but the state government handed over the probe to the CBI.
