A leader of the Gorkhaland movement, Sanjay Thulung, has reportedly been abducted from his relative’s home in Kathmandu, with Nepal Police saying a formal complaint has been lodged regarding the matter. The persons forced Mukhiya into a car and pressured her to take them to the house where Thulung was staying. They then threw her out of the car and abducted Thulung, she told the police in a complaint. Thulung’s relatives have approached Nepal Police and other security agencies for help and held meetings with top political leaders. Indian police have accused Thulung of trying to launch an armed movement and sending 15 people for arms training with a militant group in Nagaland.
