“Zubeen Garg’s Death A Murder; Chargesheet to be Filed by Dec 8,” Assam CM

Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday revealed that the death of beloved singer Zubeen Garg was not an accident but a ‘murder’. He also highlighted that Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the case would likely submit the chargesheet before the court by December 8.

Addressing media persons on Monday, the Chief Minister said, “Today, I am not going to refer Zubeen’s death as an accident. I will say it is a murder. We will file the chargesheet regarding the case before December 17. I have set a target of around December 8. We are fully prepared from every angle.”

CM Sarma further stated that since the case involves incidents that took place outside India, official approval from the Union Home Ministry is required before the SIT can submit the chargesheet.

He said, “If any incident happens in a foreign country, an approval is needed from the Ministry of Home Affairs before submitting the chargesheet. Yesterday, I met Union Home minister Amit Shah so that we can get the approval soon. I think in the next three to four days, the SIT will write to the MHA, and we hope to receive approval quickly. As soon as we get it, by December 7, 8, or 9, we will submit the chargesheet.”
