The Kolkata high court cited lapse on the part of the police, who had failed to file a charge-sheet within three months of the arrest, as the reason for granting bail to the accused.

Almost all those arrested have strong ties to the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and including its then Yuva Morcha chief Alok Kantamani Thulung and youth leaders like Puran Thami, Kismat Chettri and Dinesh Gurung alias Karate Kaila.

The Kolkata high-court has however instructed that the accused cannot enter Darjeeling district, Jalpaiguri district and the state of Sikkim.

The court has further instructed that all the accused need to register themselves with the police station of where ever they will be based, and has also required for the accused to present themselves to CBI office in Calcutta once a month.

It may be noted that the main accused Nickole Tamang escaped from the CID custody and the CBI is yet to find him.
