The Assam Police apprehended Zubeen Garg's bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and co-singer Amritprava Mahanta on Thursday evening in connection with the death of Zubeen Garg.
Earlier today, the Assam Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) added murder charges against festival organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta and Garg’s manager Siddharth Sharma.
Zubeen Garg’s Wife Appeal
Garima Saikia Garg, wife of the late singer Zubeen Garg, expressed confidence on Thursday in the ongoing investigation into her husband's death, stating that she has complete faith in the legal system.
She urged the public to be patient with the legal proceedings and emphasized that the investigation would uncover the truth, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
Speaking to ANI, Garima said, "The investigation process is ongoing, and they are handling it in their own way. Therefore, we should not comment on it right now. I do not have much knowledge about it, so the law will take its own course. I have full faith that we will receive justice through our legal system, and the investigation will be conducted properly. We will soon learn what really happened that day and who is guilty of what we want to know. If anyone is responsible, they will be punished very soon."
Zubeen Garg's Death
Reports indicate that Garg experienced breathing difficulties while swimming during a yacht outing and was rushed to a hospital, where he could not be revived. The preliminary death certificate issued by Singapore authorities cited “drowning” as the cause of death. To ensure a comprehensive investigation, the Assam government has formed a 10-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by SDGP M.P. Gupta.
The SIT has already questioned several individuals linked to the festival, including members of the Singapore Assam Association and attendees who traveled from India for the event. Earlier, Mahanta and Sharma were served notices to appear before the SIT, but their alleged non-cooperation led to the issuance of a lookout notice.
