At least six people, including four police personnel, were injured on Sunday after an escort vehicle in the convoy of Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal met with an accident in Dibrugarh, officials said.
The accident occurred near Hatiali under the Chabua police station limits when a vehicle from Sonowal’s carcade collided with a civilian vehicle.
Dibrugarh Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Abhijit Dilip said six people, including four policemen, sustained injuries in the collision.
“As a result, six persons, including four policemen, were injured. They were taken to the hospital in the carcade ambulance,” he said.
All the injured were admitted to Assam Medical College and Hospital for treatment and are reported to be out of danger, the SSP said, citing doctors’ assessments.
The accident took place when Sonowal was on his way to his native place at Bindhakata in Chabua. Rajya Sabha MP Rameswar Teli was also travelling with him at the time.
Officials said neither of the parliamentarians was injured in the incident, and they continued their journey after the injured were taken to the hospital.
