Kaziranga, November 15: The investigation into the horrific road accident at Rongajan in Kaziranga has taken a significant turn, with a court remanding Anjir Ali, the owner of the Traveller vehicle involved in the accident, to two days of police custody. Bokakhat Police had arrested Ali on Saturday night.
According to allegations, the vehicle had repeatedly violated traffic rules in the past. Investigators are also looking into its previous traffic violations as part of the ongoing probe into the accident.
Meanwhile, the state government has decided to conduct viscera tests on the driver and the handyman of the Traveller to ascertain the actual cause of the accident. Their viscera samples will be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Delhi for examination.
The tests are intended to determine whether the driver and the handyman had consumed any intoxicating or narcotic substances while the vehicle was on the road. The forensic findings are expected to help investigators establish whether substance consumption played any role in the accident.
With the vehicle owner's arrest and the decision to conduct forensic tests on the driver and handyman, the investigation has entered a crucial stage. Further details about the circumstances leading to the accident are expected to emerge after the police investigation and the laboratory reports are received.
