In a twist to the Zubeen Garg death investigation, five accused face a make-or-break bail hearing in Guwahati’s Kamrup District Court today. The SIT’s exhaustive charge sheet, rich with evidence, has reignited debates over culpability in the singer’s drowning.
Prominent among seekers are Shyamkunu and Amritprabha Mahanta, who highlight their probe assistance and probe finality as release warrants. Observers predict ripple effects across the legal battle.
The document accuses Siddharth Sharma and Shekharjyoti Goswami of murder, leveling culpable homicide at kin Sandipan Garg. Melding forensics, testimonies, and Singapore intel, it traces the deadly sequence.
Garg, intoxicated post-swim, ignored fatigue signals and safety gear. Singapore findings ruled out plots, citing alcohol, epilepsy history, and blood pressure woes—no definitive seizure proof.
Captain’s deposition reveals Garg’s instability, necessitating aid and water entry bans. Accused cry foul, denying involvement.
This hearing arrives amid public outcry for justice, testing the balance of evidence versus liberty. Whatever the ruling, it advances a story of loss, scrutiny, and accountability in Assam’s cultural heart.
