Apparently, some GJM workers opened fire on the cops leading to retaliation and clashes. Several cops were injured as well.
The GJM chief has been on the run since the Bengal police booked him under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Justifying its raid, police claimed that Gurung was at the location, meeting his supporters.
