Assam: 4-Year-Old Killed In Bike Crash; Family Alleges Ambulance Delay

A 4-year-old child tragically lost her life in a head-on crash between two bikes in Assam’s Hailakandi district on Thursday. 

Sources said the child was travelling on one of the bikes with her father when the mishap occurred. Two others sustained grievous injuries, one of them being the deceased’s father. 

While deceased child has been identified as Anisa Mehtab Siddique, the two injured are Misal Ahmed and Sultan Ahmed (the father of the child). 

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased claimed that the child could have been saved if an ambulance had arrived sooner. 

They said that the ambulance from Silchar Medical College Hospital (SMCH) did not arrive on time and the girl unfortunately succumbed to her injuries. 

The body has now been taken to SMCH for post-mortem. 

Earlier today, a 13-year-old minor boy, who had been missing since a day, was found brutally murdered at Kharupetia under Assam’s Darrang district. 

The boy’s body was found lying in a swamp adjacent to a neighbourhood. Sources said that his throat was found slit, indicating that the boy was murdered before being dumped in the swamp.

The deceased minor boy, identified as Harshit Jain, had been missing since Wednesday morning. He was found by locals today who immediately informed authorities. 

Meanwhile, locals suspect that the victim’s brother was behind the savage murder. 

Kharupetia police reached the crime scene soon after and initiated an investigation into the matter.

The victim’s brother, namely Naman Jain, has been taken into custody for questioning, police said.
