Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma spoke to the public via Facebook Live

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Saturday via Facebook Live that a lookout notice has been issued against Shyamkanu Mahanta, organiser of the North East Festival, and Siddharth Sharma, manager of late singer Zubeen Garg.

Both their bank accounts and credit/debit cards have also been frozen. The CM appealed to them to appear before the Assam CID by October 6.

"If we cannot get justice for Zubeen, then people should not vote for us in 2026. For now, the public is urged to remain patient and trust the investigating agencies," Sarma said.

He also warned that the government is monitoring those attempting to exploit Zubeen’s death for political gain or to spread unrest.
