Police threw a tight security ring around the Bagdogra airport near Siliguri on Thursday after GJM leader Bimal Gurung, who is in hiding for the past one and a half years, announced he would return to Darjeeling Hills during the day.
Police also whisked away Gurung's two aides Roshan Rai and Yogen Pradhan from the airport but said no arrest has been made.
Later, a leader of the GJM (Gurung faction) told PTI that Gurung would not return to the Hills on Thursday. "He could not come to the Hills as the police had cordoned off the entire Bagdogra airport following which he has postponed his plans to return."
