Popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg’s sudden death in September left the entire North-East region in deep shock. Initially, reports suggested that Zubeen died after drowning while swimming without a life jacket near the coast of Saint John’s Island in Singapore. However, his death soon became surrounded by doubts, contradictions, and speculation.
Now, in a major development, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has publicly stated that Zubeen’s death appears to be not an accident, but a murder. Speaking during the Assam Assembly session today, the CM revealed that the government is investigating the case as a murder, asserting that “the emotions of the entire state are with Zubeen.”
According to him, multiple aspects of the incident seemed suspicious, and certain key elements were “missing” from the earlier narrative. Following these findings, an FIR was registered under the BNS Sections 61 (criminal conspiracy), 105 (culpable homicide), and 106 (causing death by rash and negligent act). Sarma added that even during the initial phase of the probe, Assam Police detected clear indications that Zubeen’s death was a result of foul play.
Zubeen had travelled to Singapore to participate in the North East India Festival (NEIF) and was on a yacht trip when the incident occurred. After his death, over 60 petitions and complaints were filed urging authorities to conduct a deeper investigation, expressing concerns that the tragedy was not accidental.
Responding to public sentiment, the Assam government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the CID to examine the case thoroughly. Later, a one-man inquiry commission, led by Gauhati High Court’s sitting judge Justice Soumitra Saikia, was also formed to independently evaluate the circumstances.
Meanwhile, the Singapore Police Force is conducting a parallel investigation into Zubeen’s death. The inquiry commission has been given a deadline of December 12 to record statements and submit all evidence.
