He was taken to the Jorhat Medical College & Hospital (JMCH) immediately. Later he was declared dead at the hospital.
Three police personnel have also sustained injuries in the incident.
Niraj Das, who was also believed to be involved in the drugs trade was taken for identifying certain spots from where the illicit cartels were operating, meanwhile, he tried to mislead the police by taking them through another route in an attempt to escape police custody.
Speaking on the incident Jorhat OC said, “During the investigation, Niraj revealed his identity as a drug peddler and stated that he would assist us in identifying spots used for peddling. Following that, he was taken to identify those locations. He attempted to flee police custody by leaping from the police escort van. Meanwhile, a police escort car approaching from behind lost control and hit Niraj from behind.”
Niraj Das and 13 other individuals were taken into the custody of Assam Police in connection with the murder of AASU functionary Animesh Bhuyan.
