Zubeen Garg Death Investigation: Murder Charges Amid Diplomatic Contradictions
The Zubeen Garg death investigation faces conflicting reports. While Assam's SIT filed murder charges against 7 people in a 12,000-page chargesheet, Singapore police maintain no foul play was involved.
Is it a tragic accident or a cold-blooded conspiracy? More than three months after the death of Zubeen Garg, the iconic singer from Assam, investigations in two different nations are pointing to diametrically opposed conclusions. While Singapore calls it a drowning with no foul play, Indian investigators have just filed a massive murder chargesheet.
The 12,000-Page Chargesheet in the Zubeen Garg Death Investigation
On December 12, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) from Assam submitted a 12,000-page document to a local court in Guwahati. According to the report, Garg's death on September 19, 2025, was not a simple accident. The SIT has charged seven individuals, with four of them facing murder charges, including his manager, Siddharth Sharma.
The investigators allege that the accused intentionally got the singer intoxicated, knowing he suffered from epilepsy and was medically advised to avoid water. The chargesheet claims Sharma actively discouraged rescue attempts while Garg was drowning. This narrative suggests a planned orchestration of the singer's demise, utilizing his medical condition as a catalyst.
Singapore Police Maintain No Foul Play
Contrasting the Indian report, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) reiterated on December 18 that they do not suspect foul play. They've emphasized that the investigation is ongoing under the Singapore Coroners Act 2010 and urged the public not to spread unverified information. Autopsy reports from Singapore mentioned high alcohol levels but attributed external injuries to the movement of the body during recovery.
The death has morphed into a massive political issue. Garg's funeral was reportedly the fourth largest in the world, reflecting his enormous influence. This public grief translated into political pressure for the ruling BJP, which performed poorly in the Bodoland Territorial Council elections shortly after the incident. With state assembly elections just three months away, the Assam government's aggressive legal stance is seen by some as an attempt to appease an angry electorate.
