 स्व. फुर्तेम्बा सेर्पा (पति) अनि स्व. कुसुम सेर्पा (पत्नी) 

उनले हत्यालाई पक्राउ गर्नका निम्ति पुलिसले जाँच कार्य गरिरहेको भन्दै स्निफर डग टोलि समेत बोलाइएको जानकारी दिएका छन्। उनले सेर्पा दम्पतिको शवलाई सेफ्टी ट्याङ्कीमा फ्याँकेको अवस्थामा फेला पारेको पुष्टि गर्दै उनीहरू दुवैको निधारमा गहिलो चोटको निशानी रहेको पनि बताएका छन्। हत्याराले कुन अभिष्टको निम्ति हत्या गरेको हो भन्न नसकिने बताउँदै घरभित्र तोडफोड गरिएको अवस्था रहेको कारण परिवार पक्षले आफ्ना घरभित्रको सामाग्रीहरू हराएको छ छैन त्यसबारे जानकारी दिएपछि मात्रै चोरीको घट्ना सँग जोड्न सकिने बताएका छन्। यसक्रममा उनले उक्त घट्नालाई लिएर कालेबुङ थानामा प्राथमिकी दर्ता गरिएर जाँच सुरु भएको पनि स्पष्ट पारेका छन्।

‘मैले अघिल्लो दिन घरमा आमालाई फोन गरेर बात गरेको थिएँ। सधैँ झैँ भोलिपल्ट पनि मैले आमालाई फोन गरे तर फोन उठाएनन्। त्यसरीनै मैले बाबालाई पनि फोन गर्दा फोन उठाएनन्। उनीहरू दुवैले फोन नउठाएपछि मलाई चिन्ता लागेर भाइलाई पनि भने अनि गाउँका आफन्तहरूलाई घरमा गएर हेरिदिने भनेको थिए। आफन्तहरू आएर घरमा हेर्दा नै घट्नाबारे थाह पाउन सकिएको हो’ छोरा सोङदेन सेर्पाले बताएका छन्।

उनले आफन्तहरू घरमा आएर हेर्दा घर बाहिरबाट ताला लगाइदिएको अनि बाबाको फोन र टर्च आँगनमा लडिरहेको अनि आमाको फोन भने भित्र नै रहेको देखेपछि उनीहरूले नै पुलिसलाई सूचित गरेर बोलाउने कार्य गरेपछि मात्र घट्नाबारे पत्तो लाग्न सकेको पनि बताएका छन्।

मिनाक्षी थापा हत्या मामिलामा महत्त्वपूर्ण फसेला: दोषीहरुलाई आजिवन कारावास

बलिउडको दुनियाँमा अहिले देखा परेका सनसनीपूर्ण समाचारहरूमा मुख्य बनेको छ नेपाली युवती मिनाक्षी थापाको हत्याको मामला अनि त्यसमाथि न्यायालयको आदेश। मुम्बईका सम्पूर्ण पत्र-पत्रिका र च्यानलहरूमा विगत तीनचार दिनदेखि यही समाचार नै प्रमुख बनेर देखा परिरहेको छ।

यहाँको दक्षिण मुम्बईको एउटा सत्रह न्यायालयले गत शुक्रबारका दिन आफ्नो महत्त्वपूर्ण आदेश सुनाउँदै उत्तर प्रदेशनिवासी अमित जयसवाल (36) अनि उसकी प्रेमिका प्रीति सुरिन (26) –लाई हिन्दी चलचित्रकी सङ्घर्षशील अभिनेत्री मिनाक्षी थापा (27) -को अपहरण अनि हत्याको अपराधमा दोषी ठहर गर्दै आजीवन कारावासको आदेश सुनाएको छ। अतिरिक्त सत्रह न्यायाधीश एसजी सेट्ठेले यो फसेला यी दुइ अपराधीहरूबिरुद्ध भारतीय दण्ड संहिताका धारा 302 (हत्या) अनि 364-ए (फिरौतीका लागि अपहरण) -अन्तर्गत सुनाएका हुन्।

पृष्ठभूमि – देहरादुनको प्रख्यात दुन स्कुलकी पूर्व छात्रा रहेकी मिनाक्षी सन् 2011 –मा सिने जगतमा आफ्नो प्रतिभा उजागर गर्ने उद्देश्यले मुम्बई आएकी थिइन्। यहाँ आएर उनले 404 नामक रहस्यमय फिल्ममा पहिलो चोटि काम गरेकी थिइन्। 2012 -को मार्च महिनामा मिनाक्षी थापाले मधुर भन्डारकरको चर्चित फिल्म हिरोइनमा एक विशेष भूमिका निर्वाह गरिरहेकी थिइन्। देरहादुन निवासी थापा मुम्बईको फिल्मी जगतमा आफ्नो प्रतिभा उजागर गरेर यशार्जन गर्नका लागि आएकी नेपाली ठिटीले आफ्नो प्रतिभाको आधारमै दुइ महिनामै भन्डारकरजस्ता नामी सिनेनिर्माताको फिल्ममा मौका पाएकी थिइन्। तर उनीसँगै सुटिङ युनिटमा काम गर्ने जुनियर कलाकारहरूको युगल जोड़ी जयसवाल अनि सुरिनलाई भने धनको लालच थियो। यी दुइ जोड़ीले मिनाक्षी देहरादुनको निकै ठुलो खानदानी घरानासित सम्बन्धित युवती हुनसक्ने शङ्कामा उनलाई अपहरण गरेर परिवारबाट फिरौतीको माग गर्ने कुत्सित योजना बनाए। यसको लागि दुवै अपराधीहरूले मिनाक्षीसँग घनिष्टता बढ़ाएर उनको मन जिते अनि आफुहरू सिने उद्योगसित सम्बन्धित रहेको दाबी गर्दै भविष्यमा ठुलो बजेटको चलचित्रमा मौका मिलाइदिने प्रतिश्रुतिहरू दिनथाले। सिने संसारमा आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नलाई मुम्बई आएकी नेपाली ठिटी मिनाक्षी पनि युगलको वचनमाथि विश्वास गरेर उनीहरूसित धेरै नजिक हुनथालिन्।
यसैबिच गोरखपुरमा एउटा सुटीङ गर्नुपर्ने बहानामा यी दुइजना अपराधीहरूले 13 मार्च, 2012 -का दिन मिनाक्षीलाई अलाहबाद लिएर गए। बिच बाटामा उसको अपहरण गरेर दुवैले मिनाक्षीकै फोन प्रयोग गर्दै देहरादुनमा रहेकी उनकी आमालाई धम्कीसहित भारतीय रुपियाँ 15 लाखको माग गरेर मेसेज पठाए। आफ्नी छोरीको प्राण बचाउनका लागि आमाले पैसा जोगाड़ गर्नथाले पनि ३० हजारभन्दा बेसी जम्मा गर्न सकिनन् र त्यति नै उनले पठाइन्। जब यी दुवै अपराधीले थाहा पाए मिनाक्षी कुनै ठुलो घरानाकी छोरी थिइनन् अनि उनकी आमा पनि यति मोटो रकम जुटाउनमा असफल छिन् भन्ने तब उनीहरूले प्रतिभाशाली नेपाली ठिटीको हत्या गर्ने योजना बनाए। किनभने मिनाक्षीलाई जिउँदो छाड़्दा आफुहरू पक्रा पर्ने आशङ्का बढ़ेर गएको थियो। यसैले दुवैले मिनाक्षीको हत्या गरे। पहिला मिनाक्षीको टाउको काटेर अलग गरे अनि लाश अहालबादको एउटा मलखानाको ट्याङ्कीमा लुकाइदिए। त्यसपछि लखनउमा छुरी लुकाएपछि यी दुवै जौनपुर जाने राज्य सरकारको बसमा चढ़े। यसैबिच काटिएको टाउको चाहिँ अपराधीहरूले लखनउदेखि जौनपुर जाने बाटाबिच फालिदिए। यद्यपि यी दुइले मिनाक्षीको परिवारमा फोन गरेर पैसा मागिरहने काम भने २ अप्रेलसम्म जारी राखे। हत्यापछि यी दुइले मिनाक्षीको मोबाइल फोन र क्रेडिट कार्डहरू आफुसित राखेका थिए।
यस हत्याको मामिलामाथि उच्च स्तरीय जाँच सुरू भयो अनि अपराधीहरूको दुर्भाग्यवश मामिला स्पेसल पब्लिक प्रोसिक्युटर अथवा विशेष सरकारी उकिल उज्ज्वल निकमजस्ता व्यक्तिको हातमा पुग्यो। अर्कोतिर पुलिसी छानबिनका प्रभारी पनि मुम्बईको अपराध जगतका नामी पुलिस अधिकारी हिमांशु रोयको अधीनमा पर्नगयो। त्यतिखेर हिमांशु रोय मुम्बई पुलिसको अपराध शाखामा संयुक्त आयुक्त अथवा जोइन्ट कमिस्नरका रुपमा सनसनी मच्चाउने अधिकारीका रुपमा परिचित थिए। यद्यपि पुलिसलाई मिनाक्षीको शव अनि शिर उद्धार गर्न एक महिनाको समय लागेको थियो। आतङ्कवादी हमलाहरूको मामिला हातमा लिएर देशका शत्रुहरूलाई मृत्युदण्डको फसेला सुनाउन न्यायाधीशहरूलाई बाध्य बनाउने उज्ज्वल निकमजस्ता उकिलले मिनाक्षीको मुद्दामा पनि हत्याराहरूलाई फाँसीको सजाय सुनाउने माग गरेका थिए। निकमले यस मामिलामा जम्मा ३५ जना साक्षीहरूको बयान लिएका थिए जसमा मुख्य रुपमा मिनाक्षीको परिवारका सदस्यहरूको भूमिका अहम् थियो। यसरी नै अभियुक्त सुरिनका पिताको गवाहीले पनि मामिलामा महत्त्वपूर्ण मोड़ ल्याएको थियो जब उनले यी तीनैजनालाई गोरखपुरमा भेटेको सत्य कबुलेका थिए।
अर्कोतिर यस हत्या मामिलाको सुनवाइ प्रक्रियामा गत ६ सालदेखि रुची राखेर आदेश पर्खिरहेका सम्बन्धित सबैको अघि न्यायालयको आदेश त्यो दिन आएको छ जुन दिन हिमांशु रोयले दक्षिण मुम्बईस्थित आफ्नो वासस्थानमा सरकारी पिस्तोलले आफ्नो मुखमा गोली ठोकी आत्महत्या गरे।
यस मामलामा रुची लिएर पर्खने सबैमा आज न्यायालयको फसेलाले राहत दिए तापनि अर्कोतिर मिनाक्षी अनि उनको परिवारलाई यसरी न्याय प्रदान गर्नमा महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निर्वाह गर्ने पुलिस कमिस्नरको आत्महत्याले सम्पूर्ण मुम्बईवासीहरूलाई जस्तै दुखित  तुल्याएको छ।

Madan Tamang murder case - Petition in Calcutta High Court seeking early hearing

Calcutta, Feb 15: Bharati Tamang, the wife of ABGL president Madan Tamang who had been killed in Darjeeling in May 2010, today moved a petition in Calcutta High Court seeking early hearing of the applications for anticipatory bail by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha president Bimal Gurung and others.

A CBI court in Calcutta had asked Gurung and 22 other accused in the Madan Tamang murder case on May 29 last year to surrender before it. They soon moved the high court to avoid the summons.

In her petition, Bharati claimed that as the hearing of the petitions moved by Gurung and others was not taking place and the judge had issued an interim stay on their arrest, she and other members of the AIGL had been facing regular threats from Morcha activists. She approached the division bench of Justice Asim Roy and Justice M.M. Banerjee, which was assigned to hear the pleas by the murder accused.

The bench advised Bharati to file an affidavit and assured her that they would hear her petition on Wednesday to fix an earlier date of hearing Gurung's petition.

The pleas by Gurung and others came up for hearing before the division bench last on February 9. But CBI counsel Ashraf Ali sought time till May because additional solicitor general, Maninder Singh, who had held the brief on behalf of the CBI in the particular case, would not be available.

The division bench expressed anguish over the delay on the part of CBI and postponed the hearing till May.

But today, Justice Roy, the senior judge of the division bench, told Bharati's counsel: "On Wednesday, I will try to fix a date in April for hearing of the case."

Darjeeling‬ Woman Murderd in Gurgaon, Body Stuffed in a Sack and Dumped

murder

A murder case was cracked inside the mortuary of the Lok Nayak Hospital after a SIM card was found concealed in a woman’s undergarments, moments before a post-mortem was conducted. Police have now identified the deceased and nabbed the killer.

According to police, the 33-year-old woman was killed by her live-in partner who suspected her of cheating on him. The accused, 45-year-old Dhan Kumar Gurung, was arrested in Gurgaon, where he works with a hospital.

A native of  Darjeeling, the deceased had reportedly abandoned her husband and children a few years ago to live with the accused, who too had left his family.

The woman’s body was found stuffed inside a plastic sack in Central Delhi’s Daryaganj area on February 5. She was strangled with a dupatta and her feet were tied with a string.

The sack, meanwhile, was filled with potatoes and radish in an attempt to fool people.

Parmaditya, DCP (Central), said that the woman’s facial features suggested she hailed from north-east India. The sack in which her body was found bore the words ‘Kalash Tiptur Copra’, which led the police to Mithai Pul area in Lahori Gate — where these sacks are sold. Police then visited all guest houses and hotels in the area to check if the woman had checked in at any of them.

“We narrowed down to one dharamshala where this woman was believed to have stayed. The vital clues, however, came from the post-mortem room,” the DCP said.

The doctors who found the SIM card handed it over to the police, who were then able to identify the woman and the killer.

The problem allegedly began a few months ago when Gurung doubted her of being involved with other men. “He suspected that she had more SIM cards, which she would use to talk to other men,” the DCP said.

Recently, the woman had expressed her desire to visit her native home in Darjeeling. Police quoted the suspect as saying that he had insisted on accompanying her, which the woman did not agree to.

The accused then followed her to the dharamshala at Lahori Gate on February 3. An argument ensued between the couple, which ended with Gurung allegedly strangling her. After this, he reportedly bought a sack and some vegetables, stuffed her body inside and sealed it. Later, he took the sack to Daryanganj with help from an unsuspecting rickshaw puller.

Writes: Vivek Chhetri

Bharati Tamang, the wife of slain ABGL leader Madan Tamang, has said she will write to the chief justice of Calcutta High Court to expedite the process of hearing the anticipatory bail pleas of Bimal Gurung and 22 other Morcha leaders named in the CBI chargesheet on the murder of her husband.

The Democratic Front, a conglomeration of four political outfits from the hills - the ABGL, CPRM, GNLF and Sikkim-Darjeeling Ekikaran Manch - today took the decision.

Pratap Khati, the convener of the front and general secretary of the ABGL, said: "Bharati Tamang has decided to write to the chief justice of Calcutta High Court to expedite the process of hearing the anticipatory bail application. We have faith in the judiciary system but the continuous delay in passing an order on the anticipatory bail application is making us frustrated. Even if bail has to be granted, let it be granted but we would request the court to pass an order on this application."

Bharati, who was seated beside Khati, said: "I will send the letter in the next few days."

The hearing of the anticipatory bail application is slated for November 17.

The CBI had named Gurung and senior Morcha leaders like Roshan Giri, Binay Tamang, Bhupendra Pradhan, Asha Gurung, Lt Col (retd) Ramesh Allay and others in a chargesheet filed at a city session court in Calcutta on May 29.

Harka Bahadur Chhetri, the Kalimpong MLA who resigned from the Morcha recently, is among the 23 named in the chargesheet.

Tamang was hacked to death in Darjeeling on May 21, 2010, by suspected Morcha supporters when he was preparing to hold a public meeting.

Friends and Family Pay Their Last Respect to ASI Amod Gurung in ‪Mirik

5:30 AM

•

murder

‬Friends and family from across Mirik region and Darjeeling assembled to pay their last respects to Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Late. Amod Gurung.

The 40-year-old assistant sub-inspector of police in Darjeeling's Mirik who was assaulted on Ashtami evening by a group of drunken youths over a road rule violation died today.

ASI Amod Gurung and other on-duty policemen had stopped two motorbike-borne youths at Mirik Bazaar, 50km from Siliguri town, for speeding.

"Gurung spotted a two-wheeler moving at high speed and stopped it. There were two youths on the motorcycle. They were warned against rash driving and told to furnish the two-wheeler's documents," said Darjeeling police chief Amit P. Javalgi.

According to Javalgi, an SUV carrying seven other youths pulled over next to the motorcycle."They were all part of the same group. As the policemen asked for the papers of the two-wheeler again, the youths hurled bricks and stones at the assistant sub-inspector," he said.

As other policemen rushed to Gurung's rescue, the nine youths ran away, leaving the vehicles behind.

Gurung was taken to the block health centre in Mirik and later that night, shifted to a nursing home in Siliguri.

Javalgi said a case had been registered at Mirik police station and all seven youths who were in the SUV arrested. ‪Police‬ sources said they were yet to ascertain whether the accused youths had any political links.

The police across the state have come under attack several times in the past two years. On most occasions, they have been targeted allegedly by Trinamul members or by groups instigated by ruling party leaders.

At least two policemen have died at the hands of Trinamul activists and supporters since 2013. Calcutta police officer Tapas Chowdhury was shot dead during a clash in front of a Garden Reach college over student union elections in 2013.

Amit Chakrabarty, an officer posted in Birbhum's Dubrajpur, died last year after a bomb was hurled at policemen during a Trinamul faction clash.

Last year, the then officer in charge of Parui police station in Birbhum, Prosenjit Dutta, was seriously injured after bombs were hurled at his vehicle at Chowmandalpur village by suspected BJP activists. Earlier this year, a Trinamul leader in the same district was accused of slapping a sub-inspector when the officer objected to his misbehaviour inside a police station in Bolpur.

In April this year, alleged Trinamul-backed goons shot at a sub-inspector attached to Girish Park police station during the elections to the Calcutta Municipal Corporation.
