Assam SI Junmoni Rabha’s accident pre-planned murder; Lakhimpur police demanded money to withdraw case, claims deceased cop’s informant

The untimely death of Assam cop Junmoni Rabha has shaken the entire state even as startling allegations surface one after the other, claiming her death to be a ‘pre-planned murder’. 

Hasina Begum, an informant of deceased Assam police SI Junmoni Rabha has alleged that she used to give information to the deceased SI regarding fake gold nexus. In one such case, Junmoni Rabha came under the radar of Nowboicha officer-in-charge Sanjeeb Bora, who threatened her to withdraw a case against an accused involved in the fake gold nexus. 

“Junmoni ma’am called me on May 14 saying that the Nowboicha police filed a case against her for arresting one person allegedly involved in a criminal activity. She also said that the Nowboicha police station OC Sanjeeb Bora was demanding Rs 6 lakh from her. Junmoni ma’am then said that why will she pay Rs 6 lakh. Hence, Junmoni ma’am told me a conspiracy is being hatched to kill her. And additionally, I was also harassed continuously since May 12. Junmoni Ma’am had even asked me to come out of this place as my life is in danger,” said Hasina Begum while speaking to the media.
The female informant alleged torture by unidentified miscreants and an attempt to kidnap her on May 2 by few youths of her village. She was threatened by the youths identified as Shahid, Zakir and Shafikul (Village headman) against whom Hasina Begum had lodged complaints in the police station. 

Questions are being raised that whether Junmoni became a target of a bigger fake gold nexus against which she was acting tough. 

It may be mentioned here that the criminal investigation department (CID) of Assam police has been tasked with the probe into a case registered against deceased sub-inspector (SI) Junmoni Rabha.

“In wake of request of a fair probe from various sections of society into FIR Nu 0183/2023 and death of SI Junmoni Rabha, it has been decided to transfer investigation to CID Assam,” DGP GP Singh informed.

“FIR Nu 0183/2023 was registered on May 15th 2023 at North Lakhimpur PS u/s 120-B, 395, 397, 342, 387 in which name of SI Junmoni Rabha was mentioned as an accused,” Assam DGP GP Singh said.
An FIR was filed in Lakhimpur police station in Assam against 8 persons including SI Junmoni Rabha for allegedly demanding Rs 6 lakh.

According to the FIR filed by Amina Khatun, a resident of Lakhimpur in Assam, on May 6, Junmoni Rabha and seven others attacked the complainant's son, Ajgar Ali, "without any reason," according to the FIR.

In addition, they allegedly dragged the complainant's son along with them and took away their Pan cards, gold earrings, a Maruti Brezza car, and Rs 80,000 in cash.

In the meantime, the death of an Assam police SI, Junmoni Rabha, remains a mystery because her family believes that foul play was involved in the entire incident.
