Zubeen Garg death case: Bandmate, Co-Singer arrested, total now 4

The SIT of Assam Police  on Thursday arrested late singer Zubeen Garg's co-musician Shakharjyoti Goswami and co-singer Amritprabha Mahanta. According to officials, both Goswami and Mahanta were at the spot when the incident occurred and were summoned for questioning earlier in the day. Following interrogation, they were taken into custody. “We have found some evidence against them. So, to enquire further, their arrest was necessary,” an officer said. With these arrests, four people are now behind bars in connection with the case. On Wednesday, Garg’s manager Siddharth Sharma and event organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta- the man behind the Northeast India Festival where Garg had gone to perform -- were taken in and charged under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, criminal conspiracy, and causing death by negligence.
Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta confirmed that both Sharma and Mahanta are in 14-day police custody. "The investigation is going on, and I cannot share much detail. We have added Section 103 of the BNS in the FIR now," he said. Section 103 deals with murder, carrying punishment of death or life imprisonment, along with a fine. Both Goswami and Mahanta were with Garg at the yacht party during the North East India Festival on September 19. The 52-year-old went for a swim and was found floating face down in the water. 
Munna Prasad Gupta, told reporters that interrogation of Mahanta and Sharma is ongoing after a court granted 14-day police custody. While refraining from disclosing details, Gupta confirmed that investigators are pursuing multiple angles.Gupta said the autopsy conducted in Singapore, where Garg died, will be handed over directly to the singer’s family once procedural formalities are completed. “The Singaporean authorities also did their investigation. The autopsy report from them will be directly shared with the family as per protocol,” he noted.
The celebrated Assamese singer died on September 19 under unexplained circumstances while swimming in the sea off Singapore. He had travelled to attend the 4th edition of the Northeast India Festival, organised by Shyamkanu Mahanta and his company. Following his death, outrage spread across Assam, with more than 60 FIRs filed statewide against Mahanta and nearly 10 others, including Garg’s manager Sharma. Allegations of negligence surrounding the event prompted police to launch a full-fledged probe.
