Bokakhat Police have detained Anjir Ali, the owner of the Traveller involved in the tragic road accident at Rangajan near Kaziranga. Ali was picked up by the police from Nua Panigaon in Nagaon district as part of the ongoing investigation into the accident that claimed 26 lives.
According to information provided by the police, Ali was detained over alleged violations of motor vehicle regulations. Investigators stated that the accident-hit Traveller had violated traffic rules 12 times since 2025. The vehicle's previous record of traffic violations has now become an important aspect of the ongoing investigation.
The accident took place at Rangajan when a passenger Traveller collided with a container truck, resulting in the deaths of 26 people. The tragedy triggered questions about the vehicle's speed, the number of passengers it was carrying, the driver's responsibility and possible violations of traffic regulations.
Police are continuing their investigation to establish the circumstances that led to the fatal collision and determine accountability. The detention of the vehicle's owner marks a significant development in the probe.
However, the detention does not by itself establish the owner's guilt. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
