The Guwahati fast-track court has officially framed murder charges against four individuals in connection with the death of Zubeen Garg, a celebrated Assamese singer who passed away in Singapore on September 19, 2025. Initially ruled as accidental drowning, the case has seen new developments as the court, led by district and sessions judge Sharmila Bhuyan, considered arguments from both sides and the charge sheet from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) established by the Assam CID. The charges include serious offenses such as murder, criminal conspiracy, extortion, and destruction of evidence, implicating Zubeen's manager Siddhartha Sharma, event manager Shyamkanu Mahanta, bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, and fellow singer Amrit Prava Mahanta. Each accused faces multiple charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, with the trial set to explore their respective roles in the alleged crimes. Zubeen Garg's death, described as resulting from severe intoxication and drowning after he declined a life jacket, has now led to a significant legal proceeding.
