Locals of Silchar in Assam’s Cachar held massive protests against MLA Parimal Suklabaidya on Saturday following the death of a biker after being run over by a vehicle in the convoy of the minister.
The incident took place on Friday at Dhumkur locality in Kalain when Parimal Suklabaidya’s convoy was on its way to Guwahati.
According to sources, the protestors alleged that the minister did not feel the need to contact the helpless family despite knowing that the youth was killed by his convoy vehicle.
Therefore, the protestors said that they will continue to block the road with the body until the minister arrives. However, the police arrived at the spot and managed to disburse the protestors.
It may be mentioned that, the deceased biker was on his way to fetch Iftar items. But before returning home with the items, he was hit by the speeding vehicle.
