Zubeen Garg death: Akhil Gogoi raises questions on sealed house

Guwahat: In a sharp escalation of public scrutiny surrounding the investigation into the death of legendary singer Zubeen Garg, Raijor Dal chief and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi on Tuesday raised serious allegations of irregularities in the ongoing probe conducted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

“This is said to be the house of Shyamkanu Mahanta that the SIT sealed! The GPS map shows the exact address and time. How can people still live in a house that was sealed by the investigating agency, with lights on? Was it even sealed at all?” Gogoi asked, directly questioning the integrity of the investigation and hinting at possible tampering of crucial evidence.

Gogoi’s remarks, which quickly spread across social media, come amid growing public outrage and suspicion over the handling of the case. He said that if the SIT truly sealed the property linked to the investigation, its apparent continued occupation raises grave concerns about transparency and procedural fairness.

The Raijor Dal leader demanded that the SIT immediately clarify the situation and make its actions public to maintain credibility.
