Kalimpong, Nov. 17: The Kalimpong unit of the GNLF has decided to give police some more time to arrest the killers of its party activist Yonsingh Lepcha.

Lepcha, suspected to be a police informer, was shot dead by militants belonging to United Gorkha Revolutionary Army (Ugra) at Lower Santuk on the night of October 24. The GNLF had threatened to take matters into its own hand if the police failed to catch the culprits by November 15. No arrests have been made yet.

“The SP (superintendent of police Rajesh Subarna) has sought some more time and we have agreed, though I am not happy with the progress of the investigation,” said Dawa Pakhrin, Kalimpong unit president of the GNLF.

The police suspect that Ugra leader Ajay Dahal personally took part in the killing of Lepcha. Dahal is believed to be hiding in the dense jungles of the Lava-Algarah region.
