DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 10
THREE persons, all in their 20s including a woman, died on the spot while one person was critically injured in a tragic accident today. The incident happened when a white Gypsy bearing registration number NL03 2658 collided with a red bus bearing registration number AS 05 B 6537 at Gautam Basti near the Khatkati Check Post. The deceased have been identified as Nungsangkaba (26 years), son of late Tebden from Alayong village, Nyethong (26), son of Imkochung from Alayong village and Moipen (20), daughter of Hebet from Yongnyah village. All the deceased are residents of Longleng district.
The tragic accident took place when Moipin along with her friends were on their way to Dimapur to obtain medical treatment for Moipin’s sick mother, Moala.
But a cruel twist of fate instead set in and claimed the lives of those accompanying the patient.
The patient Moala (40 years) and mother of Moipin who died in the tragic accident, has been admitted to the ICU at Zion Hospital Dimapur with critical injuries.
Khatkati Police brought the bodies to the closest ‘District Hospital’ and later handed over to their family members.
The case has since been handed over to the Khatkati Assam Police as it was under the Assam jurisdiction. The bus is detained and is kept under Assam police supervision while further investigations are going on.
