CID Arrests Zubeen Garg’s Manager And Festival Organiser In Delhi Over Singer’s Mysterious Death

Entertainment News: The Criminal Investigation Department of Assam Police carried out dramatic arrests in Delhi on Wednesday. Zubeen Garg’s manager Siddhartha Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta were taken into custody. Both men were quickly flown to Guwahati the same evening for interrogation. The arrests created a huge buzz across Assam, as the singer’s sudden death in Singapore had already shocked millions. The court later remanded both accused to 14 days in police custody. Officials confirmed that questioning had already begun in Guwahati. The development added a fresh twist to the ongoing case.

Murder Charge Added By CID

Assam CID chief Munna Prasad Gupta told reporters that investigators had added Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita to the FIR. This section directly deals with murder charges. Earlier, the duo was only booked under culpable homicide not amounting to murder, conspiracy, and negligence. The addition of the murder section has raised the seriousness of the case even further. Officials, however, refused to reveal more details, saying the probe is still in progress. The move signaled that investigators suspect deliberate foul play in the tragic death. The mystery around Zubeen’s last hours deepened.

Powerful Family Connection Revealed

Accused organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta belongs to an influential family in Assam. His elder brother Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta was a former DGP and is now Chief Information Commissioner. Another brother, Nani Gopal Mahanta, served as advisor to the Chief Minister and is now Gauhati University’s Vice Chancellor. These strong links have made the case even more politically sensitive. Critics say this may have delayed action earlier. With the CID now in charge, many are watching closely to see if justice is delivered. The case is testing Assam’s law enforcement credibility. People want fairness without bias.

Wife Garima Speaks Out

Zubeen’s wife Garima Saikia Garg has broken her silence during the mourning rituals in Jorhat. She expressed relief that the accused were finally brought back to Assam. She said the family only wants to know what truly happened in her husband’s last moments in Singapore. Garima added that she has complete faith in the CID investigation team. Her words gave courage to grieving fans who also demand transparency. She reminded everyone that Zubeen’s legacy cannot end without justice. Her emotional statement has gone viral on local media platforms.

State Government Forms SIT

The Assam government had earlier formed a Special Investigation Team of ten members to look into the case. The SIT was asked to thoroughly examine how Zubeen died in Singapore on September 19. The official version said he drowned in the sea, but fans and family raised doubts. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also ordered that all FIRs across Assam be handed to the CID. More than 60 complaints were filed against Mahanta, Sharma and others. A consolidated case was created to avoid confusion. This showed the government was under heavy public pressure.

Public Anger And Street Reactions

Across Assam, Zubeen’s fans have expressed anger and disappointment over the handling of the case. For many, he was not just a singer but a cultural icon who gave identity to the state. Protests have been held demanding speedy justice and punishment for those responsible. Some fans accuse powerful networks of hiding the truth. Others say the government acted late, only after public outrage. The arrests, however, have brought some hope among the people. Social media continues to buzz with prayers, anger, and demands for accountability. The mood in Guwahati remains tense.

Mystery Still Surrounds Singapore Death

Despite arrests and charges, questions remain about what exactly happened to Zubeen in Singapore. Reports only say he drowned, but how and why still confuses many. The CID has not revealed what evidence they have found so far. Fans believe there must be more to the story than what has been shared. Investigators are expected to question witnesses, examine call records, and verify details of his last hours. The public is watching every step with sharp eyes. Only a transparent probe can answer the haunting mystery. Until then, Zubeen’s death continues to raise doubts.
