GJM chief Bimal Gurung and his wife Asha Gurung get the anticipatory bail in Madan Tamang Murder Case. The Calcutta High Court today granted anticipatory bail to Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief Bimal Gurung and his wife Asha in connection with a case of attempt to murder the bodyguard of slain All India Gorkha League (AIGL) leader Madan Tamang.
Gurung and his wife were named in the FIR in connection with the alleged attempt to murder Maheshwar Thakuri, a police constable, who was the personal security officer of Tamang.
Tamang was murdered in broad daylight on May 21, 2010, when Thakuri also suffered gunshot injuries. Thakuri named 36 persons in the FIR.
A Darjeeling court had last month rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Gurung and his wife Asha, who is the chief of the women's wing of GJM.
The couple then moved the Calcutta High Court seeking anticipatory bail.
Their counsel Milan Mukherjee claimed that they were falsely implicated.
A division bench comprising Justice Jayanta Biswas and Justice Indrajit Chatterjee, hearing both the petitioner's counsel and the prosecution, granted the anticipatory bail prayers of Bimal Gurung and Asha Gurung.
