Zubeen Garg's manager Siddhartha Sharma finally breaks silence after SIT raid at his home: ' Let the investigation proceed without...'

Zubeen Garg’s manager Siddhartha Sharma has reacted to the SIT raids at his residence days after the singer’s death by issuing a statement, which spoke about Garg’s vast catalogue and the earnings from his creative work. In the statement, Sharma shared that the majority of the singer’s 38,000 recorded songs are contractually owned by various production houses and music companies, contrary to the public’s perception.

“Almost all of Zubeen da’s songs, even the biggest blockbusters, were done before I entered his life. He often lamented how he was shortchanged, with producers and labels earning crores while he received only modest payments. This can be verified with those companies directly," said Sharma.

“The LLP has generated only a few thousand rupees monthly so far. The entire amount remains in the company account, with no withdrawals. Zubeen da owned 60 per cent of the firm, and I consider it my duty to ensure that his family rightfully inherits this stake," he added.

Calling all the rumours of exploiting Garg’s finances or trusts, he added, “These rumours are baseless and deeply hurtful. I have cooperated with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing his death and will continue to do so."

“This is a request from one human being to another. Let the investigation proceed without fear or prejudice. We owe it to Zubeen da’s memory to pursue truth with dignity," he said.
