Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed on Friday that Singapore authorities have officially transmitted the post-mortem and toxicology reports of singer Zubeen Garg to the state police. The 52-year-old icon died on September 19 while swimming in Singapore, a day before his scheduled performance. The reports, sent under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), include maritime guidelines and are now with the 10-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) leading the probe.

The SIT has arrested seven individuals, including Garg’s manager, bandmate, cousin (a suspended DSP), and two security officers. They face charges of murder, conspiracy, and negligence. Financial trails show over ₹1.1 crore transferred to the security personnel’s accounts, raising suspicions of motive. The team is confident of filing the chargesheet by December 17, within the 90-day legal window, with Sarma assuring justice.

Singapore Police met Assam SIT on October 21 and promised CCTV footage and witness statements within 10 days. While SPF initially found no foul play, a separate coroner’s inquiry is ongoing. Assam’s earlier viscera report suggested a “definite angle,” fueling public belief in poisoning or foul play over accidental drowning.

Garg’s death sparked outrage across Assam, with over 60 FIRs filed and protests turning violent. His wife returned the body demanding swift action. The singer, known for anthems like “O Mur Apunar Desh,” remains a cultural pillar. The SIT now integrates foreign evidence to close the case.

Sarma emphasized focus on justice without sidelining state issues like encroachment and “Love Jihad.” He criticized Congress for allegedly promoting Bangladesh’s anthem at a local event, ordering a probe. As the investigation deepens, Assam awaits answers—and closure.
