The Darjeeling Chief Judicial Magistrate court today granted interim bail to prominent businessman Brij Mohan Garg who was arrested on September 11 on the charge of diverting PDS food grains to statehood agitators.
Garg, the president of the Darjeeling Chamber of Commerce, was granted interim bail on health grounds after being levied a penalty of Rs 3,000. Garg is undergoing treatment presently as his health had begun deteriorating following his arrest.
Food and supply department officials had also temporarily closed three PDS storehouses, including a flour mill co-owned by Garg.
Following Garg’s detention, the police had gone on an arresting spree of businessmen in the hills in order to cut off funds and supply to statehood agitators.
Meanwhile, the legal procedure for seeking bail for GJM assistant secretary and newly elected GTA chief executive Binay Tamang has been initiated at the CJM court. Tamang, the elected GTA member from Bloomfield constituency, had 11 cases against his name. Although he has been granted bail in seven cases, two cases are still to be heard, in Jalpaiguri district and Darjeeling. Tamang will have to appear before the CJM court on October 5 for the next hearing.
Sources have said a parole has been sought in a Jalapaiguri court in order to ensure Tamang’s presence for his oath-taking ceremony as the new GTA chief.
