Jorhat Superintendent of Police Ankur Jain said on Sunday that three persons working in a personal boat were taken for questioning while several officers were summoned to record their statements.

At the same time, Superintendent of Police Ankur Jain said that they have detained 6 IWT employees from Nimti Ghat after finding that they had not followed the safety norms.
