Police arrested the accused school teacher in Siliguri after a 37-year-old woman filed a complaint against her private tutor, who, she alleged, had molested her at her Darjeeling home when she was 14.
Aug 06, 2019 'We think this is the appropriate time for the Centre to make Darjeeling a Union territory with a legislature. We would soon start agitation over this,' Gorkha Janamukti Morcha representative said.
Senior BJP leader Mukul Roy’s recent statement has kicked up a storm in the Darjeeling region in north Bengal.

However, five additional companies of the CRPF will be in the hills to assist the state police force.
A sub-inspector was shot dead and four policemen were injured in clashes allegedly with Gurung's supporters on Friday.
He said the police faced "heavy fire power" from the group which led to the death of a police sub-inspector and injuries to four police personnel.
The police said the raid was carrying on as it had intelligence inputs that Gurung, against whom a lookout notice was issued last month, was near Patlebas in the Darjeeling hills.
The police team had gone to a forest to catch the leader of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha
