Assam CID has officially concluded its investigation into the cold-blooded murder of Assam’s beloved singer Zubeen Garg, with Special Investigation Team chief and Special DGP MP Gupta announcing that the comprehensive chargesheet, backed by irrefutable forensic, electronic and documentary evidence obtained from Singapore, will be filed in court within days.

Gupta confirmed that the last tranche of critical material — including post-mortem reports, underwater footage analysis, digital communication records and sworn statements from Singapore-based witnesses — reached Guwahati this week, conclusively proving that Garg’s death on September 19 while swimming off Sentosa Island was neither accidental nor suicidal, but a meticulously planned homicide executed under the guise of a leisure outing during the North East India Festival.

The seven accused now facing murder charges are: NEIF chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, Garg’s long-time manager Siddharth Sharma, band members Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amrit Prabha Mahanta, the singer’s cousin and serving Assam Police DSP Sandipan Garg, and two personal security officers Nandeswar Bora and Prabin Baishya — the latter pair implicated after investigators uncovered suspicious financial trails exceeding ₹1.1 crore routed through their accounts in the weeks preceding the Singapore trip.

Emphasising the professionalism of the probe, the Special DGP stated that every step complied with the CrPC and international mutual legal assistance protocols, with Singapore authorities extending exemplary cooperation by allowing on-site reconstruction, forensic sampling and voluntary depositions from festival staff and hotel personnel who witnessed the final hours of the singer’s life.

With Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma having already declared in the Assembly that this was a “plain and simple murder”, the imminent chargesheet is expected to reveal a chilling conspiracy driven by financial greed and personal betrayal, delivering closure to millions of grieving fans while ensuring that those who silenced Assam’s cultural voice face the full severity of the law.
