Guwahati: Irot Tanti, president of the Assam Tea Tribes Students Association Doomdooma regional committee, has condemned reports of people exploiting families dealing with Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal cases. He claims that certain individuals are contacting the relatives of injured victims to inquire about their survival, allegedly offering large sums of money if the victims pass away.
Addressing the behavior during a public statement, Tanti remarked, "Are some people actually waiting for accident victims to die? They call the relatives and neighbours of injured persons to ask whether the victim is still alive and allegedly promise substantial sums of money if the victim dies. It appears as though they are praying for the death of accident victims."
The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal operates under the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 to provide financial relief and support to those impacted by road accidents. Tanti criticized those who seek to manipulate this legal process for personal gain during times of tragedy. He questioned the morality of these actions, stating that such a predatory mindset has no place in a civilized society. These concerns arise as the Tea Tribes community in Tinsukia faces an increase in road accidents and a growing need for ethical conduct in victim support.
