Juber and Majrul were siblings, while Sultan Ali was their cousin, being the son of their paternal aunt.
According to local police, the incident took place around 10 PM on Thursday near the Khandikar railway line, under the jurisdiction of Kaurbaha Police Patrol Post.
As per Tamulpur Superintendent of Police Suman Chakraborty, the motorcycle with registration number AS01GU3702 was heading towards Rangia when it collided head-on with a Bolero pickup van (AS01RC1884) traveling in the opposite direction towards Nagrijuli.
The force of the collision caused the motorcycle's rider and two passengers to be thrown onto the road, sustaining severe injuries.
Emergency services quickly transported the injured individuals to Kaurbaha BPCH and Swasti Hospital, but unfortunately, all three were pronounced dead upon arrival.
Family members reported that the cousins were returning home from a wedding in Yusuf Nagar, Rangia, just a short distance from their residence when the accident occurred.
The Bolero pickup was operated by Ashan Ali (25) from Chirang district. Following the incident, both the driver and his assistant, Dipen Medhi (24) from Baksa district, were taken into custody.
