NAGAON, May 20: Although the case of mysterious ‘death’ of SI Junmoni Rabha has been declared to hand over to CBI probe by DGP Assam as well as state government, the CID team, led by SP Dhruba Bora who is camping here at Nagaon for last couple days, interrogated Raja Irshad, officer in charge of Dhing PS, driver of police vehicle attached to Morikolong police outpost and the prime eyewitness of the suspicious road accident at Sarubhogia under Jakhalabandha PS on May 16 – Pranab Das, the youth of Bokakhat here on Saturday.
