Guwahati: A team from the Nagaon Police arrived at the mother’s Guwahati residence on Sunday, two days after the deceased Sub-Inspector Junmoni Rabha’s mother had submitted a FIR.
The Nagaon Police arrived at her home based on the FIR filed, and Sumitra Rabha, Junmoni’s mother, is being questioned in relation to the matter by Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Rupam Bordoloi. The grieving mother is assisting the investigation, according to sources.
Following the puzzling death of Morikolong SI Junmoni Rabha in a car accident on May 16, her relatives accused him of murder and criminal conspiracy. Her mother, Sumitra Rabha, filed a FIR at the Jakhalabandha Police Station in Nagaon later that day, May 19, asking a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s passing.
She had demanded a thorough investigation of the entire situation as well as the punishment of all those responsible. In her FIR, she detailed the full incident that happened the night it happened.
On Saturday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was requested to take over the investigation of all four cases that had been filed in Assam’s Nagaon and Lakhimpur districts. This recommendation came after the Assam Director General of Police (DGP), GP Singh, reviewed every aspect of the case and had discussions with the CID Assam and senior police officers from Assam police headquarters.
Addressing the press conference here in Guwahati, DGP GP Singh said, “I also want to put it on record that this decision of mine to transfer the investigation to CBI has been taken on two grounds. One the public sentiments, their desires and demands to transfer the cases to CBI and secondly, one of our own officer has lost her life, it is deemed appropriate that the case is investigated by a neutral agency. However, having seen the investigation by CID Assam in last three days, I would also like to say that this decision of mine doesn’t in any way question the professional capability of CID Assam. I have great regard for the capability that CID Assam has displayed during the last few years and all the cases that have been entrusted to CID Assam in last few years have been investigated and taken into logical conclusion. However, I reiterate that I have taken the decision to transfer the cases to CBI for the sake of public sentiment and neutrality.”
