Singer Zubeen Garg's post mortem and toxicology findings have been given to the State police by Singaporean authorities, according to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. He insisted that the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is looking into Garg's death, had made significant strides and will present the chargesheet in court on time.
Speaking to reporters outside of a program on Friday, October 31, 2025, Mr. Sarma stated, "They had promised cooperation when our SIT visited Singapore." The post mortem and toxicological findings, along with accompanying sea related guidelines under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), were formally provided today by the Singaporean authorities. On September 19, the 52 year old singer composer passed away while swimming in Singapore's waters.
Seven people have been taken into custody by the 10 member SIT thus far. The SIT will present the chargesheet within the allotted ninety days, according to Sarma, the state's home minister. Members of SIT have already achieved significant strides.
According to my brief, the SIT is quite certain that Zubeen will receive justice. "People will appreciate their work when it submits the chargesheet by December 17," he stated. The chief minister added that the State government will not permit attention to be diverted from other "issues" in the State, even if it is fully committed to looking into Garg's death case. "They want Assam to be a part of Bangladesh," Mr. Sarma remarked, taking a jab at the Congress. For this reason, they attempt to defend and perform Bangladesh's national anthem.
The Assam government recently gave the relevant authorities instructions to look into the alleged singing of Bangladesh's national song during a Congress Seva Dal rally in the Sribhumi district. In addition to Garg's case, Mr. Sarma stated that "love jihad" and encroachment are concerns for the state and will continue to be top priorities for his administration.
