GUWAHATI: Was ‘daredevil’ police officer from Assam – Junmoni Rabha ‘murdered’?

This is a question that has raised its head following statements from two different sources.

An eyewitness named Pranab Das, a driver by profession, on Wednesday (May 17), claimed that contrary to earlier reports that Junmoni Rabha’s car had smashed into a parked truck leading to her death, it was instead the truck that rammed into the parked car of Junmoni Rabha.

Just a day later, a call recording between two persons has gone viral in the social media.

In the call recording, one of the person described the sequence of events that led to the ‘accident’ of Junmoni Rabha.

He has also been heard clearly stating that the accident of Junmoni Rabha was in fact a ‘murder’.
