The mystery deepens: Four arrested in Zubeen Garg death case in Assam Police as investigation unfolds.
The investigation into the death of popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg is getting deeper and more serious with each passing day. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Assam Police has now arrested two more people in connection with the case. Those arrested are Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, a bandmate who often performed with Zubeen on stage, and Amritprava Mahanta, a co-singer who shared the stage and recording studios with him on many occasions. With these new arrests, the total number of people taken into custody has now reached four.
Earlier in the week, the police had arrested Siddharth Sharma, Zubeen’s manager, and Shyamkanu Mahanta, a festival organiser who was closely involved in events where the singer performed. Initially, the case was registered under charges of negligence and culpable homicide not amounting to murder. But after new evidence and statements came forward, the police added much stronger murder charges under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Investigators now believe there may be a bigger plot or conspiracy connected to the untimely death of the music star.
The SIT has been carefully piecing together what happened in the hours and days before Garg passed away. Allegations have come up about poor medical care and even claims that he might have been taken away or made to perform despite being on medication and unwell. Zubeen’s wife, Garima Garg, has openly spoken about her doubts, saying her husband was under treatment and questioning whether those around him really looked after his health and safety or not.
For millions of fans, Zubeen Garg was more than just a singer – he was a household name and a cultural hero who gave Assamese music a national identity. He had an unmatched fan following not just in Assam but across the country, singing in Assamese, Bengali, and Hindi. His sudden death left fans heartbroken, sparking protests, candle marches, and demands for the truth to come out. The music industry too has united in calling for a fair and transparent investigation.
The arrests of Goswami and Mahanta are now being seen as a turning point in the case. Police have not yet revealed the exact roles the two are suspected of playing, but their custodial questioning is expected to reveal new details. Authorities say they are looking at everything—from the financial dealings of events to the medical treatment provided to Garg in his final days—to piece together a full picture of what happened.
As the investigation continues, all eyes remain on Guwahati and the SIT’s findings. People want to know whether Zubeen Garg’s death was simply a tragic case of neglect or if there was something far more serious, even criminal, involved. For now, the mystery continues, but the arrests of four close associates show that the police are determined to leave no stone unturned in their search for justice.
