Tsultrim Chokden (deceased victim) was walking down the lane on the McLeodganj-Bhagsunag road around 11:30 pm on October 30, 2015 along with his female friend (sole witness) when three local youth travelling on a motorcycle passed indecent comments on his friend. The verbal duel between Tsultrim and the local youths led to them stabbing him repeatedly in the stomach. The three accused, Kailash from Dosalani village near McLeodganj, Rinku from Balaher village near Shahpur and Mahesh Kumar from Ramba village, were remanded in judicial custody following two days of the incident.
The advocate had earlier appealed the Tibetan NGOs and the local population to pay more attention towards the case. He also requested the heads of NGOs to attend the hearings in support of the deceased. The district had earlier also rejected the bail pleas by the three culprits to remain out of custody until a judgement was made by the court.
