Zubeen Garg case: Court orders freezing of bank accounts linked to Siddharth Sharma
Guwahati: In a significant development in the ongoing probe, a special fast-track court has ordered the freezing of bank accounts belonging to Siddharth Sharma, former manager of singer Zubeen Garg and a key accused in the case.
The court also directed authorities to freeze the accounts of several other individuals allegedly involved in financial transactions with Sharma, thereby widening the scope of the investigation.
Additionally, the court ordered the seizure of Mahavir Aqua, a packaged drinking water unit located at Chhaygaon under the Soigaon Industrial Development Centre in Assam. The facility, reportedly owned by Sharma, has now come under judicial scrutiny as part of the case.
Earlier, the Gauhati High Court had transferred the matter to the fast-track court for detailed examination and expedited proceedings. Following several days of hearings, the court issued these fresh directions on Wednesday.
During the hearing on Tuesday, Sharma’s counsel argued that his client’s role was limited to managing Zubeen Garg’s stage performances and did not extend to his personal security.
