Dibrugarh: A commercial truck was destroyed in a mysterious fire incident outside the Jorhat Railway Station, raising suspicions of possible sabotage.
The vehicle, parked in its usual spot near the railway station, was engulfed in flames on Wednesday night. The incident came to light when a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable noticed the blaze and immediately alerted the truck's owner.
"I had parked the truck just 45 minutes before receiving the call from the RPF constable about the fire. By the time I rushed back to the spot, the flames had already spread significantly," said the owner, who also operates the vehicle.
By the time the fire tenders arrived, it was too late. The truck was completely gutted before firefighters could contain the blaze.
"I've been using the same parking spot for several years to facilitate the transportation of goods from incoming trains. I suspect that this might be the work of miscreants who deliberately set my truck on fire," the owner added.
RPF has launched an investigation and is reviewing CCTV footage from cameras installed around the railway station premises to identify any suspicious activities.
