GUWAHATI: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) continued its inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the artiste’s death. Officers examined several angles, including suspected financial irregularities linked to the Zubeen Garg case, alleged conspiracies, and the broader circumstances leading to his demise.

Two Axis Bank officials appeared before the SIT with the bank account records of Siddharth Sharma, adding to the information provided earlier regarding his SBI and HDFC accounts.
