Two
absconders accused in the murder of Kumar Subba, the president of Yuma
Yangthung Tribal Youth Phojumbho, an association of the Limbu community
of Darjeeling, were arrested this morning by the Darjeeling police.
They have been identified as Baley Rai
and Deoman Rai. Both in their mid-50s, the two were picked up from their
houses in Harsingh Hatta near Lebong, 8km from Darjeeling town.
The family of the victim had named the
duo in the FIR lodged at the Sadar police station after the crime was
committed in the night of December 28, 2016.
Baley and Deoman were produced in the
chief judicial magistrate court and sent to three days police remand.
Darjeeling SP Amit Javalgi said, “We have arrested two persons accused
in the Lebong murder case of December 28. The two were produced in court
which granted us three days remand for further investigation."
On December 28, Subba and his friend
Binny Limbu were returning home to Singamari from a meeting of the
community when they got into an altercation with the accused at Lebong
Golai. In the heat of the moment, Baley and Deoman allegedly hacked
Subba to death with a sharp weapon and injured Limbu grievously. The
police are yet to recover the murder weapon. (EOIC)
