JAMUGURIHAT: As a protest against the arrest of Deepak Subba, president of the Sonitpur district All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU), by Jamuguri police from his Dolabari residence on Wednesday night on the charge of duplicating a signature, the Sonitpur district committee of AAGSU staged a demonstration in front of Jamuguri PS today under the leadership of Hitesh Parajuli, general secretary of Sonitpur district AAGSU. According to information, Jamuguri police have apprehended Deepak Subba on the basis of an FIR lodged by one Lal Bahadur Newar, a resident of Mangalboriya on the northern part of Jamugurihat.
It is pertinent to mention here that Deepak Subba sought some portion of land from Lal Bahadur Newar to open a new wine shop at Managalboriya on lease. But the person concerned denied doing so.
