Apr 25, 2016 DT Admin General Comments Off on Sonada‬ Tense Following Death of an Assault Victim

Traffic was shut down for nearly 4 hours last night in Sonada following the death of Mr. Suman Tamang, a resident of Bhangbari.

According to sources, on the night of Feb 26, 2016 some individuals had assaulted Suman Tamang to the inch of his life, and he was undergoing treatment in Siliguri. Despite a heroic and long fight for survival, he could not be saved.

Locals have alleged that on the 4th of April, Mr. Suman Tamang had informed the police as to who all had attacked him, “however the police did not arrest anyone, stated a local.” Following Mr. Tamang’s death, residents from Bhangbari blocked the main-road and also Gheraoed the Thana. Police however expalined that due to elections, they did not have necessary manpower to apprehend the perpetrators.

The blockade was finally lifted after one of the main accused Mohan (GS) Gurung was arrested.

Locals have stated that the fight did not have a political angle to it and was a result of a personal feud.
