During the operation, a vehicle rammed into the police vehicle on the four-lane Borghat bypass in Nagaon, causing the accident. Rahman suffered severe injuries to both legs below the knee. He was immediately admitted to Nagaon Medical College and Hospital and is currently undergoing treatment.
Rajibur Rahman is a resident of Nakari in Lakhimpur. Police officer Biman Gogoi and two other police personnel were also injured in the accident.
It is pertinent to mention that on the early morning of April 24, Rajibur, along with two other dacoits from Lakhimpur and with the help of local Nagaon accomplices, allegedly committed dacoity at Dr Saikia’s house. Dr Saikia and his wife Ruprekha Bhuyan Saikia were grievously injured in the attack. While Dr Saikia later recovered, his wife, who had been in a coma, died on May 10 while undergoing treatment at a Guwahati-based private hospital.
Nagaon Police have arrested eight persons in connection with the heinous crime and the investigation is ongoing.
