A police officer has been shot dead in Darjeeling as a hail of gunfire erupted between police and suspected gunmen loyal to Bimal Gurung, the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leader who is on the run. Early this morning, a huge police force marched to Tubgar forest, some 20 kilometres from Darjeeling town, based on intelligence inputs that Mr Gurung was in the area.
