The arms recovery comes close on the heels of the arrest of Gurung's driver, Sidhant Kami, on March 6. The police have found out that Gurung had mobilised around 120 Gorkhaland Personnel, mostly from the Dooars, and had run an arms training camp at the hostel of Kanchenjungha Public School at Tukvar. The police are attaching much importance to the recovery of military fatigues and revelation of the arms training. However, it is clear now that when Bimal Gurung fled, he distributed many firearms to people. "Kami has told us that Gurung and his aides used to practise shooting at Jamuni where he ran an illegal crusher unit," said Amarnath.
