Morcha leader held in Sikkim Police arrested Yolmo under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act but did not divulge specifics
Lopsang Lama (Yolmo), the working president of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (Bimal Gurung camp) and purportedly an aspirant of the party for the Kalimpong Assembly seat, was arrested from Namchi in Sikkim on Wednesday.
Sikkim police arrested Yolmo under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act but did not divulge specifics. Prawin Gurung, spokesperson of Sikkim police, confirmed the arrest.
Sikkim’s political eco-system is largely considered to be aligned to the BJP. Bimal Gurung recently dumped the BJP and joined hands with Trinamul in poll-bound Bengal.
