“Yes, both were arrested by the SIT/CID today. The team has brought the arrested persons to the CJM (Chief Judicial Magistrate) court for production,” the SIT chief said.
Earlier, the SIT/CID had unearthed significant financial transactions of more than Rs 1 crore in the bank accounts of two PSOs of Zubeen Garg.
So far, the SIT has arrested the main event organizer, Shyamkanu Mahant, Zubeen Garg’s manager, Siddharth Sharma, bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, co-singer Amritprava Mahant, Zubeen’s cousin and suspended APS officer Sandipan Garg in connection with Zubeen Garg’s death case.
The Assam government on Wednesday issued an order and suspended Assam Police Service (APS) officer Sandipan Garg, who was arrested by the SIT/CID in the Zubeen Garg death case.
Meanwhile, amid the ongoing investigation into the death of her husband and famous singer Zubeen Garg, Garima Saikia has urged people not to politicize his demise and appealed to eyewitnesses to come forward and share the truth.
Speaking to the media, Garima said, “I am still keeping faith, 5 to 6 people have been arrested in this case, but they have not spoken the truth yet. I am waiting very patiently. People are cooperating with the investigation team and the judicial system. I hope the truth will come out fast.”
Garima further said, “21 days have passed since Zubeen’s death. Those who were eyewitnesses should come forward. We have lost our icon, our heartbeat. Things should not be politicized in this case.”
Earlier it was alleged that Zubeen died while scuba diving in Singapore. However, recently Zubeen Garg’s bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami has alleged that the singer was poisoned in Singapore, which led to his death.
According to the ‘Detailed Grounds of Arrest’ (remand note), Garg’s bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami alleged that a “conspiracy” was hatched “to make his death appear accidental”.
