Assam's Sonitpur district administration has initiated a magisterial investigation against Tezpur University following allegations of disrespect towards cultural icon Zubeen Garg after his death, officials announced on Wednesday.

The investigation, led by Additional District Magistrate Kamal Baruah, comes in response to claims from students that the university failed to honor Garg appropriately and that derogatory comments were made by the Vice Chancellor, Shambhu Nath Singh.

The PRO resigned citing concerns about the university's leadership, while authorities announced plans to commemorate Garg with a statue and an honorary doctorate.
