ITANAGAR, Apr 03: The Superintendent of Tax, Excise and Narcotics department, Boleng in Siang district, Kaman Tayeng died as she was trapped between her vehicle and a brick wall in front of her government quarter at Boleng at 2:30 pm today.
While confirming the incident, Siang Superintendent of Police Opir Paron informed that nobody witnessed the incident.
“According to information, Kamang Tayeng’s neighbour heard a cracking sound and rushed out from his house only to find the official’s body trapped between her official vehicle and the brick wall of the Secondary School, Boleng just in front of her government quarter,” the SP said.
Since she was driving the vehicle on her own and was planning to go down to Pasighat after obtaining permission from the Siang DC, it is presumed that the vehicle was parked in neutral gear in a hurry, the SP said, adding, the deceased seems to have closed the back door after putting her articles and the vehicle moved back as it was slopy. He also said the deceased seems to have tried to stop the vehicle from moving back by pushing it from behind but couldn’t control it and the vehicle crashed her against the brick wall causing her instant death.
According to sources, she was the only sister of IAS officer Kaling Tayeng.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Tax, Excise & Narcotics has expressed “sorrow” at the demise of the department’s official. The Commissioner of Tax, Excise & Narcotics in a statement informed that her mortal remains are being moved to her native village at Oyan, where her last rites would be performed tomorrow.
Lt. Kaman joined the department as Inspector of Tax, Excise & Narcotics in the year 2006 and was promoted to the post of Superintendent of Tax, Excise & Narcotics in the year 2020.
She is survived by her husband and two children.
“She was a jovial, sincere, and a hard-working officer. A condolence meeting shall be held at the Itanagar Commissionerate office tomorrow,” the statement said.
