PRESS RELEASE
GYALSHING POLICE ARREST NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL ‘SPIDER MAN’ IN MAJOR THEFT CASE

In a remarkable breakthrough, the Gyalshing District Police have successfully solved a major theft case involving the theft of gold ornaments and cash worth approximately ₹16,98,500/- (Rupees Sixteen Lakh Ninety Eight Thousand Five Hundred).

The case was registered at Gyalshing Police Station on 29.10.2025 following a written complaint from Shri Ram Hang Limboo, a resident of Sardung and presently serving as RTO, Motor Vehicle Division, Gyalshing.

Acting on the complaint, a case under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 was registered and taken up for investigation.

During the course of investigation, police arrested Zigmee Sonam Bhutia of Pelling on 01.11.2025 and recovered a substantial portion of the stolen property from his possession. Based on his disclosure, and through sustained intelligence and technical surveillance, a special team led by PI Roshan Gurung, SHO Gyalshing Police Station (Investigating Officer of the case), proceeded to Siliguri. With the assistance of Pradhan Nagar Police, the team apprehended the main accused, Rakesh Rai alias “Spider Man”, from Methibari, Siliguri who was absconding after commission of crime.

The accused Rakesh Rai @ Spider Man is a notorious and habitual offender, active during the 1990s, with a long criminal record. He has previously been convicted and sentenced by the Hon’ble Courts of Sikkim and Siliguri in several heinous offences.

The arrest of this notorious criminal marks a major success for the Gyalshing District Police and underscores their relentless commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring the safety of all citizens.

On this occasion, I would like to commend the dedicated efforts of all officers and personnel involved in the operation and lauded their professionalism and teamwork in upholding the Sikkim Police motto — “To Protect & Serve.”

Eight Killed After Car Blast Near Red Fort, Amit Shah Visits Site, No Terror Link Confirmed Yet

Delhi , 10 Nov : A powerful explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday evening killed eight people and injured more than 30 others, triggering panic and a massive security response. The blast took place inside a parked car near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort Metro Station around 6:50 pm, setting nearby vehicles on fire. Firefighters and police rushed to the scene, and the area was immediately cordoned off.

Officials at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital confirmed eight deaths and said several others were seriously injured. "Fifteen victims were brought to the hospital; eight were declared dead before arrival. Three are in critical condition," said Dr. B.L. Chaudhary, Medical Superintendent of LNJP Hospital.

The explosion caused a major blaze, damaging multiple vehicles and spreading chaos in the busy Old Delhi area. Over 20 fire tenders were deployed to control the fire, while teams from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), National Security Guard (NSG), and Delhi Police conducted forensic examinations at the site.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited LNJP Hospital late in the evening and later inspected the blast site. Speaking to reporters, Shah said, "We are investigating all possible angles. It is premature to say what caused the blast until reports from forensic and bomb disposal teams are received."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences and said the government is closely monitoring the situation. “Condolences to those who lost their loved ones. Reviewed the situation with Home Minister Amit Shah and senior officials,” the PM posted on X.

High alerts were issued across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Bihar following the incident. Security checks were intensified at major public places, metro stations, and bus terminals.

While the authorities have not confirmed any terror link, reports suggested that the arrest of two individuals earlier in the day with explosives in Faridabad has prompted investigators to explore all possibilities.

Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha said, "The car was moving slowly when it stopped at a red light near the Red Fort Metro Station. An explosion occurred inside the vehicle, damaging others nearby. All agencies are working together to identify the cause."

Political leaders across parties expressed shock and demanded a thorough investigation. AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi urged authorities to ensure public safety and uncover the cause, while Congress leader Pawan Khera called for a swift and transparent probe into the tragedy.

Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang Highlights National Unity and Cultural Heritage at Bharat Parv 2025

Ekta Nagar- Gujarat,
November 10:
Chief Minister of Sikkim, Prem Singh Tamang, attended the Bharat Parv 2025, a grand national celebration organized by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, at Ekta Nagar, Gujarat.

Marking a historic milestone, this year’s Bharat Parv commemorates the 150th birth anniversary of the Iron Man of India, Bharat Ratna Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Ji, the architect of India’s unity and integrity. For the first time, the annual festival is being hosted outside Delhi, at the very site that stands as a living symbol of national integration.

In his address, Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang expressed profound pride and joy at being part of this historic occasion. He said, “Bharat Parv is not merely a cultural event but a celebration of India’s soul, a reflection of unity in diversity and the collective spirit that binds the nation together.”

He highlighted that the event beautifully showcases the country’s rich cultural heritage, traditional arts, crafts, cuisine, and tourism potential, representing every corner of India on one vibrant platform.

The Chief Minister commended the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, under whose guidance Bharat Parv has evolved into a grand national celebration of unity, culture, and pride. He also extended gratitude to Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendra Patel and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Harsh Sanghavi for their dynamic leadership in hosting the event at the Statue of Unity.

The Chief Minister further acknowledged the Government of India’s commitment to honouring the great personalities who have shaped the nation’s identity, including Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Maharshi Aurobindo, and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.

Each evening of Bharat Parv 2025 came alive with spectacular performances from Rajasthan’s Maand and Kerala’s Kathakali to Assam’s Bihu, Punjab’s Bhangra, and Sikkim’s traditional Singhi, Yak, and Maruni dances symbolizing the harmonious confluence of India’s diverse traditions.

Special attractions such as the “Bharat Darshan” Pavilion, thematic food and craft stalls, and a dedicated presentation on Bhagwan Birsa Munda Jayanti added grandeur and depth to the festival. The serene surroundings of Ekta Nagar, featuring the Jungle Safari, Cactus Garden, Butterfly Garden, Arogya Van, Children’s Nutrition Park, and Vishwa Van further reflected the seamless blend of nature, culture, and development.

In his concluding remarks, Shri Tamang paid glowing tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Ji, reaffirming the collective resolve to uphold the ideals of unity, integrity, and brotherhood. He emphasized the need to build an India where “every culture is respected, every community contributes, and every citizen lives with dignity and pride.”

The Chief Minister extended heartfelt appreciation to the organising committee, participating states, artists, artisans, and the Ministry of Tourism team for their dedication in making Bharat Parv 2025 a resounding success. He also conveyed special thanks to Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena, Deputy Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Shri Arun Sao Ji, Minister for Tourism, Art & Culture, Delhi Shri Kapil Mishra and Minister for Tribal Development, Primary, Secondary and Adult Education of Gujarat Smt. Rivaba Jadeja for their gracious presence that enriched the national celebration.

Concluding his message, Shri Tamang expressed deep admiration for the land of Gujarat, the sacred soil of Lord Shri Krishna, the karma-bhoomi of Mahatma Gandhi Ji, and the veera-bhoomi of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Ji, describing it as a source of divine energy and inspiration for all Indians.

He remarked, “It is indeed a matter of great fortune to witness this sacred land and be part of such a historic celebration that embodies the timeless spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.”
