Assam CM Himanta Says Singer Zubeen Was Murdered, Chargesheet Before December 17: Report

GUWAHATI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said that singer Zubeen Garg, who died in Singapore in September while swimming in the sea, was murdered.

He said that the special investigation team (SIT) of Assam police’s criminal investigation department (CID), which is probing the late musician, filmmaker and actor’s death, will submit its charge sheet before court by December 8.

“I won’t term his death as an accident anymore. The SIT is supposed to submit the charge sheet of Garg’s murder case on December 18. I have given them a target of December 8. We are prepared in all aspects in that regard,” Sarma told journalists in Tezpur on the sidelines of an event.
