Singapore sends Zubeen Garg’s post-mortem, toxicology reports to Assam Police

Guwahati: Authorities in Singapore have officially handed over the post-mortem and toxicology reports of singer Zubeen Garg to Assam Police, marking a key development in the probe into his death.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed on October 31 that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) handling the case has made “significant progress” and is on track to submit the chargesheet within the 90-day timeline.

“When our SIT visited Singapore, the authorities had assured us of full support. Today, the post-mortem and toxicology reports, along with guidelines under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), have been formally sent,” Sarma told reporters.

So far, the SIT has arrested seven individuals, all of whom are currently in judicial custody.

Sarma, who also holds the Home Ministry portfolio, expressed confidence in the investigation. “The SIT is determined to ensure justice for Zubeen. By December 17, when the chargesheet is submitted, the public will see the results of their work,” he said.

He stressed that while Garg’s case remains a top priority, the state government is also addressing other pressing issues.

Criticising the Congress, Sarma alleged the party is attempting to “make Assam a part of Bangladesh,” referring to an incident in Sribhumi district where members of the Congress Seva Dal reportedly sang Bangladesh’s national anthem.

An inquiry into the matter has been ordered.

The Chief Minister also highlighted that issues such as ‘love jihad’ and land encroachment continue to demand the government’s attention. “These matters will remain a focus alongside Zubeen’s case,” he added.
