Guwahati: The investigation into the fatal road accident ar Mathgharia in Guwahati, which claimed the lives of three young women, has revealed key details about the events leading up to the crash.

Guwahati Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Bora while sharing the findings on Tuesday said that the injured victims were immediately rushed to Gate Hospital after the accident.

"However, the driver was missing from the scene, and the vehicle's driver-side door was found open, raising initial concerns. Police later identified the accused driver as Shamim Ahmed," DCP Bora said.

He said investigations revealed that the car was registered in the name of Pankaj Kumar Dutta and had been rented to Bhargav Deka. Ahmed had reportedly taken the vehicle from Deka earlier that day.

Bora said GPS data and CCTV footage were crucial in reconstructing the timeline. "The vehicle was first traced near Rudraksh Mall at around 11:00 pm, where it remained parked for several hours. CCTV footage confirmed that Ahmed and the three women were at a rooftop bar there for nearly five hours, reportedly spending around Rs19,000," he said.

"At about 3:00 AM, the group left the location. GPS tracking showed the vehicle moving across major roads such as GS Road, RG Baruah Road, and Mother Teresa Road, reaching speeds of up to 130 km/h. The crash occurred at 4:02 AM when the car, travelling at around 96 km/h, rammed into a stationary truck," Bora added.
