Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday (June 7, 2025) requested his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad Sangma to conduct a "fair and impartial inquiry" by a senior police officer into the death of a 25-year-old woman in a road mishap in the hill State earlier this week.
He said that the bereaved family of Assam's Golaghat native has raised concerns regarding the accident and urged Mr. Sangma to ensure that all facts surrounding it are brought to light.
The victim, Namrata Bora, who worked in Guwahati, had purportedly gone on a drive towards Shillong with her friends in the early hours on Wednesday, but they decided to return midway.
Their car met with an accident in Shangbangla area of Ri Bhoi district when it was hit by another vehicle while trying to overtake a stationary truck.
Namrata succumbed to her injuries at Nongpoh Civil Hospital, where she was taken, while the other four passengers escaped with minor injuries.
