A Sikkim court on Saturday remanded to 15 days' judicial custody five persons, including two school teachers, arrested on September 12, after an altercation with a group of Christian preachers, led by a senior official, at Khamdong in east district, police said today. The incident took place on September 11 when the religious group was preaching with a loudspeaker near the Khamdong School compound.
