A road blockade and the siege of a local police station resulted from a road accident that claimed the life of a 36-year-old in Tripura`s Boxanagar. The incident sparked widespread discontent. This happened on Friday night when a Maruti car carrying sugar collided head-on with a local businessman named Ramprasad Dev, seriously injuring him.
Living in the Ratandol region of Boxanagar, Ramprasad was a mobile store owner. One day, he was harvesting mangoes near Pradeep Sahar`s shop on Boxanagar Bazar Road when he was hit by a Maruti car that was driving at a high pace. He was badly hurt and rendered unconscious at the side of the road.
