The mystery surrounding the death of Assam’s music icon Zubeen Garg has deepened with sensational claims made by his bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami in a confessional statement to police.

Goswami has alleged that Zubeen’s manager Siddharth Sharma and fest organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta poisoned the singer and staged his death as an accidental drowning during a yacht trip in Singapore. His statement, recorded under Section 175 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), accuses the duo of deliberately choosing a foreign venue to conceal the conspiracy.

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