Zubeen Garg’s Death: Tarsame Mittal Questioned for Hours, Says "Will Cooperate with SIT"

Guwahati: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing into singer Zubeen Garg's death, along with the alleged related financial issues, summoned his former manager, Tarsame Mittal, on Friday, to appear for further questioning.

Mittal had been interrogated for more than 11 hours at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters. The lengthy session focused on charges that cash intended for patient assistance under Garg's charitable activities was misused.

On asking about the interrogation, Mittal asserts his full cooperation with the SIT. While speaking to media persons, he said, “I have provided all the necessary information to the SIT.” On asked if he would appear again, Mittal stated, “If the SIT calls me again, I will cooperate and appear once more,” before leaving the premises. However, he refrained from making any statement regarding Siddharth Sharma, assuring the police are looking into the matter.

According to the reports, Mittal started managing Zubeen Garg in 2002 and joined as his official manager in 2006-07. He further moved to Mumbai in 2014 to operate his own managing company, TM Management. Mittal appointed Siddharth Sharma to oversee Garg’s initiatives in 2014. Sharma ultimately became Garg’s manager, a position he retained until his arrest and judicial imprisonment

Investigators are particularly interested in Mittal's relationship with Siddharth Sharma. The SIT believes that its professional group may possess important information about the alleged financial misappropriation.

The broader probe focuses on both the circumstances of Garg's death and the alleged financial misdeeds that were revealed posthumously.  The SIT has also questioned numerous other individuals associated with Garg in recent weeks, hoping to piece together the whole line of events.
