The incident took place at around 3:30 pm in the Sebiston jamoat, some 150 kilometers south of Dushanbe.
As a result of a special operation launched by the law enforcement authorities, one person was detained in connection with the deadly incident and one another suspect resisted arrest and was killed in the evening of July 29.
Three foreigners reportedly were killed at the scene and another died in hospital. Three other tourists sustained various injuries and received medical treatment in hospital.
Initial police accounts described the event as a traffic accident, although officials have since revealed that they are considering a range of possibilities, including murder, armed robbery and terrorism.
