New Delhi: Assam’s ‘Lady Singham’ sub-inspector of Assam Police, who was embroiled in several controversies, was killed when her car collided head-on with a container truck in Nagaon district on early Tuesday. Junmoni Rabha, also known as ‘Dabang cop’ was alone in her private car and not in uniform.

The accident occurred at Sarubhugia village under the Jakhalabandha police station of Kaliabor Sub-Division, according to a report in NDTV. “After getting intimation at around 2:30 am, a police patrol party reached the spot and took her to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared her dead,” Jakhalabandha Police Station Officer-in-Charge Pawan Kalita was quoted as saying.

Police have seized the container truck, which was coming from Uttar Pradesh. However, the driver fled from the spot after the accident.

Nagaon Superintendent of Police Leena Doley reached the spot in the morning to take stock of the situation. The police don’t know why the SI was going alone in civil clothes without any security in her private car towards Upper Assam. Her family members were also unaware of her movement.

About Junmoni Rabha

Junmoni Rabha, who was the in-charge of the Morikolong Police Outpost, was known for being strict against criminals as well as alleged financial irregularities. In June last year, she was arrested for alleged corruption in league with her former beau and was remanded to judicial custody by a court in Majuli district, leading to suspension from the service. The suspension was lifted later and she rejoined service.

In January 2022, her telephonic conversation with BJP MLA Amiya Kumar Bhuyan from Bihpuria constituency was leaked.

They were engaged in an altercation after Junmoni Rabha had arrested some boatmen for operating country boats with machines fitted “illegally” and over alleged harassment of the people of Bhuyan’s constituency by her. As the leaked audio tape had led to a furore, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that an elected representative must be given due respect.
