High-alert security operations conducted ahead of national celebrations took a tragic turn in Assam when a dedicated police officer died while performing routine highway checks. Sub-Inspector Nabajit Das lost his life after being struck by a moving vehicle during an evening patrol in Dima Hasao district on Friday. The officer was actively inspecting passing vehicles alongside fellow security personnel as part of heightened regional vigilance when the fatal collision took place.
Intensified Vigilance Across the Region
Officer Nabajit Das was stationed at the Laisong police outpost, which functions under the administrative control of Mahur police station. Ahead of the upcoming Independence Day events, state police forces across Assam have deployed additional personnel at various strategic road intersections. These measures involve systematic vehicle checks, strict monitoring, and round-the-clock patrolling aimed at securing public spaces and preventing any unlawful activity ahead of the national holiday.
Medical Transport and Ongoing Inquiry
Immediately after the impact, emergency responders and colleagues transported the injured officer to Haflong Civil Hospital for emergency treatment. Upon arrival, attending doctors examined Nabajit Das and declared him brought dead. Officials who disclosed the details on Saturday confirmed that the deceased sub-inspector originally belonged to Udalguri district. Authorities have formally registered a legal case concerning the incident and initiated a thorough investigation to determine the exact sequence of events, verify the circumstances of the impact, and complete all required legal procedures.
