Darjeeling: Bimal Gurung on Tuesday released an audio tape
demanding a CBI probe into the death of a police officer in the clash
near the Little Rangeet river earlier this month.
The demand by
the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief, whose supporters were believed to be
staying in the camps that the police had raided, came a day after the
state decided to hand over the case to the CID.
"I have learnt
that the Bengal chief minister has ordered for a CID investigation into
the incident that took place on October 13. We want a CBI inquiry as
they will use the CID to indulge in their dictatorial politics," said
Gurung.
Gurung alleged that the death of sub-inspector Amitabha Malik in the clash was "a conspiracy ".
The police have earlier contested Gurung's claim .
In the
audio clip on Tuesday, circulated by Morcha general secretary Roshan
Giri on WhatsApp, Gurung demanded a CBI inquiry also into the deaths of
11 Morcha supporters during the agitation.
