…FILES COMPLAINT WITH CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER, THREATENS
PROTEST IF ACTION IS NOT TAKEN AGAINST POLICE OFFICIALS
GANGTOK, 20 Mar: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha has submitted a
complaint against the Station House Officer [SHO] and Investigating Officer
with the Chief Electoral Officer today in connection with the arrest of SKM officer
bearer Pintso Chopel Lepcha under Immoral Trafficking [Prevention] Act.
Mr. Lepcha is the owner of Hotel Bayul where a teenaged boy
was found dead in one of the rooms on Thursday [read accompanying news report
for details].
SKM secretary general, MK Subba, in his complaint before the
Chief Electoral Officer has alleged that the caretaker government headed by Chief
Minister Pawan Chamling was conspiring with police officers to implicate SKM
member Mr Lepcha in a false case to tarnish his image and that of the party as
a whole.
After submitting the complaint, Mr. Subba told reporters here
outside STNM Hospital, where Mr. Lepcha was admitted after his arrest, that the
SKM party has asked the CEO to take action against the police officers involved
in the arrest. If no action is taken by 11 AM on Friday, the party will stage a
protest against the DGP and CEO, said Mr. Subba.
He further accused the Chief Minister of misusing government
machinery to implicate an SKM leader without proper investigation or clear
evidence.
