In a powerful and emotional statement on January 15, 2026, Garima Saikia Garg, wife of the late Assamese Music Icon Zubeen Garg, broke her silence following recent proceedings in Singapore's Coroner's Court. She firmly declared that her family's pursuit of the full truth behind her husband's tragic death remains "lawful, relentless, and ongoing" across jurisdictions, with "no hesitation, no compromise" in seeking justice and accountability.
The statement comes a day after the Singapore court heard details from police investigators revealing that Zubeen Garg, 52 (or 53 in some reports), drowned near Lazarus Island on September 19, 2025, while severely intoxicated—his blood alcohol level reportedly over four times the legal limit. He allegedly consumed alcohol on a yacht outing, initially wore a life jacket but later removed it, refused a smaller one offered, and entered the water alone despite warnings. Toxicology showed prescription medications for hypertension and epilepsy but no other drugs, and authorities have ruled out foul play, classifying the incident as a possible "misadventure."
Garima's detailed Facebook post addressed mounting public concern in Assam, emphasizing transparency and dignity. She highlighted key questions raised by a family member in court, including the planning of the outing, safety measures, Zubeen's medical condition, exact circumstances of his distress, response times, and the basis for the no-foul-play conclusion. Describing Zubeen as belonging to the people of Assam, its music, and collective memory, she urged millions of admirers to receive honest answers.

The family has called on the Government of India and Assam authorities to closely monitor the Singapore proceedings, pursue diplomatic steps for full disclosure, and continue effective prosecution based on Assam's Special Investigation Team chargesheet against several individuals. Garima reiterated unwavering faith in the law, vowing to explore every legal path until every detail is examined and those responsible face the highest punishment.
This development has reignited the #JusticeForZubeenGarg campaign on social media, as fans and supporters rally behind the family's demand for uncompromised truth in one of Assam's most heartbreaking losses.
