Dimapur police arrests 3 suspects in Assam truck driver murder case

Dimapur: As many as 3 individuals were arrested by a Special Investigation Team of Dimapur police during a brief night operation on October 3 in connection with the recent murder case of a truck driver hailing from Assam.

It needs mention here that an "indefinite economic blockade" was called by five unions of truckers and drivers at the inter-state entry points of Dimapur, who have been demanding the safety of transporters and ex-gratia for the family of an Assam-based trucker who was shot dead by miscreants here on September 22.

The blockade was called by the Dimapur District Truck Owners'' Association, Dimapur Truck Drivers Union, Dimapur District Truck Drivers Welfare Trade Union, Lahorijan and Khatkati Truckers'' Welfare Society, and the Bokajan Truck Owners'' Association.

The truckers' bodies had earlier given the government an ultimatum of 3 days, and went ahead with the blockage due to the non-fulfillment of their demands.
