On day one of winter session, Assam assembly allows adjournment motion to discuss singer Zubeen Garg’s death

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in the Winter Assembly state session, said that they never opposed the adjournment motion on the Zubeen Garg death case and emphasised that, according to preliminary investigation, Garg's death was not a case of culpable homicide, but a plain and simple murder.

Answering the Opposition's query, the Assam Chief Minister further asserted that they had requested the court to include Section 103 along with Sections 61, 105, and 106 of the BNS. After discussions, the court accepted their plea and permitted the addition of Section 103. He emphasised that this has been a murder case from day one, and without the inclusion of Section 103, all the accused could have secured bail.

"Today we haven't opposed the adjournment motion to respect Zubeen Garg, we support this. Zubeen Garg died on September 19, 2025 and next day on September 20 we registered the first FIR. On the first day we suspect that, Zubeen Garg's death is not a natural death. We registered the FIR under Section 61, 105, 106 of BNS on September 20, 2025.
