Zubeen Garg death case: Assam CIB begins full-scale probe with 55 FIRs, 4 accused & 2nd autopsy

The investigation of singer Zubeen Garg’s death in Singapore, following his cremation and 4-day mourning period, began on Tuesday with 4 accused, 55 FIRs across Assam and 2nd autopsy report.

The FIRs were lodged against North East India Festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, Zubeen Garg’s manager Sidharth Sharma, drummer Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, and businessman Sanjive Naraine. The complaints allege their possible involvement in the death of the singer.

The Assam CID registered a consolidated case based on all the FIRs on Sunday, under the charges of ‘criminal conspiracy,’ ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder,’ and ‘causing death by negligence’ after getting the directive from CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.

CID Additional Director General (ADG) M P Gupta confirmed the registration of the case and said a special investigation team (SIT) has been constituted to probe the case. “A second autopsy of Zubeen Garg was conducted at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital on Tuesday before his cremation. The investigation has already started,” he said.

Now, the big question raised here is that the singer didn’t even have half the valuation. So, how Siddharth made it so big in such a short span of time.
