Mizoram has claimed that the driver of the oil tanker was allegedly murdered by the handyman, who later committed suicide after being arrested by the police.
“I cannot believe this version. The driver was killed by few locals in Mizoram and the handyman was killed while in custody of police,” alleged Assam MP Rajdeep Roy.
