Biggest scam in Sikkim?

SKM received ₹36.5 crore through bonds, which it encashed between October 13, 2022, and January 19, 2024. This number is based on the SBI's disclosures to the ECI on electoral bonds for the period from April 2019 to February 2024.

The amount raised by SKM via electoral bonds is much less than other parties on the list at Rs 36.5 crore, but interestingly the only other regional party from the northeast on this list is SKM’s rival, the Sikkim Democratic Front. The Pawan-Chamling-led SDF, however, managed to raise only Rs 5.5 crore.

Interestingly, the party raised nearly half of its total electoral bond sales just ten days after Sikkim was hit by the worst flood in the state’s recent history. Data shared by the ECI showed that on October 16 and 17, 2023, even as a large part of the state remained cut off due to the glacial flood, it raised Rs 18 crore in total. Prior to this, the party also raised Rs 7 crore in electoral bonds in July 2023.

Cardiologist Sanjay Upreti stepped in to help the Sikkim government-run hospital’s female sanitation worker as the suspect attacked her with a knife. He was also attacked, police said.

A doctor and a female sanitation worker were injured in a knife attack allegedly by a 42-year-old man inside the Sikkim government-run New STNM Hospital at Gangtok on Monday afternoon, police said.

The victims are in serious condition and undergoing treatment at the hospital. The attacker has been arrested.
Witnesses said the doctor was stabbed when he tried to help the woman who appeared to be the attacker’s primary target.
BK Tamang, deputy inspector general and spokesperson of Sikkim Police, said: “The attacker first stabbed Kala Chhetri, a safai karmachari, multiple times and then stabbed Sanjay Upreti, a doctor from the cardiology department.”
Police suspect the attacker, identified as Thinley Bhutia, has a personal grudge against the woman, Tamang added.
Chief minister PS Tamang expressed shock on the incident.
“The murderous attack is highly condemnable. The attacker has been arrested. We will ensure that he gets stringent punishment,” he said.
Eyewitnesses said it was lunchtime when the attacker appeared on the fourth-floor corridor and started shouting. “The man suddenly attacked the safai karmachari with a knife. She landed on the floor in a pool of blood. The man attacked the doctor when he tried to rescue the woman and ran away,” said a nurse who did not want to be identified.
