GUWAHATI, May 28 � Public activist Prof Deven Dutta on Tuesday night had a providential escape near Ganesh Mandir, Ganeshguri, when the Tata Sumo he was travelling in was hit by a water tanker (AS-01-J-1752). Prof Dutta said the tanker driver, about 20-years-old and apparently a handyman, did not have a driving licence. �He later fled the scene, and in the process, almost ran over me. But for the intervention of a few persons who had gathered at the site, I could�ve been killed. It was an attempt to murder,� he said, ruing the inaction of Dispur police whom he had called up several times immediately after the accident at 9.19 pm. � Staff Reporter
