The incident happened at Damthang Road amid the 48-hour bandh called by the SDF, protesting the Supreme Court's observation on the Sikkimese Nepali community
After days of protest across Sikkim, the state government has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court's for rectification of the court's observation that Sikkimese Nepalis were people of foreign origin.
Former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling-led SDF on Friday called a 48-hour Sikkim bandh on February 4 and 5 to "convey a public message" to the Centre over the foreigner remark against Sikkimese Nepali community in a recent Supreme Court judgement.
