After five months, CBI recovers mobile from SI Junmoni Rabha car

GUWAHATI: After nearly five months, a mobile phone was recovered from the car of police constable Junmoni Rabha, parked at Jakhlabandha police station in Nagaon, Assam.

Speaking on the matter, a source said that the mobile phone was found inside the wrecked car where Janmuni’s body was found.
It may be noted that the mobile phone is suspected to belong to Junmoni Rabha who was said to be missing since the day of her death.

Sources said the CBI team had visited the area for site recreation and further investigation when they received a call from Total Car.
However, it is still not clear whether the mobile phone belonged to Junmoni Rabha or someone else.
The mobile device will be sent to the forensic department for further investigation.

The investigation team will further verify all data related to the device.
A CBI team has been investigating the case since June.

The team also visited the vehicles involved in the accident, but a source said they did not check Junmoni’s vehicle properly and hence, missed her mobile device.

It may be noted that Sub-Inspector Junmoni Rabha died in an alleged accident which was later suspected to be murder.
Her family had accused other policemen, including the then Nagaon SP Leena Doley, of involvement in the incident.
The then Lakhimpur SP Bedanta Madhab Rajkhowa and Nagaon SP Leena Doley were transferred for their involvement in the case as well as being linked to a nexus of fake gold smugglers.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Junmoni Rabha, posted at Morikolong police station in Nagaon district, died under mysterious circumstances in what appeared to be an accident on May 16.
Initially, the police claimed that she died in an accident that took place around 2 am on National Highway 37 near Sarubhagia village in Kaliabor, Nagaon.

However, after some time, there appeared to be a lot of alleged misconduct in the incident.
Junmoni Rabha is said to have died in the accident, there were no marks on her body to indicate that he died in the accident in which a truck collided with her car.

Several high-profile figures also hinted at the possibility of an assassination angle.
The CBI took over the case from the CID on June 14 when DGP GP Singh visited the CBI office in Delhi to discuss the case.
