A shocking development has emerged in the death of Assam icon Zubeen Garg, as police have arrested Siddharth Sharma following allegations that he and Shyamkanu Mahanta poisoned the singer and staged his death as an accidental drowning during a yacht trip in Singapore.

Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, in a statement recorded under Section 175 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), has alleged that Siddharth Sharma and Shyamkanu Mahanta poisoned the victim and deliberately chose a foreign venue to conceal their conspiracy.

The explosive testimony forms the basis for Sharma's arrest on charges of criminal conspiracy, murder, and culpable homicide, as detailed in the grounds of arrest signed by Dr Rosie Kalita, Senior Superintendent of Police at CM's Special Vigilance Cell in Assam.
