The Singapore police confirmed that there was no foul play involved. Alcohol Consumption on the Yacht According to officials Garg and over 20 others on the yacht including friends and colleagues had brought snacks drinks and alcohol on board. Witnesses reported that the singer consumed “a few cups of liquor gin and whisky along with a few sips of Guinness Stout.” Zubeen who was initially wearing a life jacket removed it and later declined a second one that was offered to him. Assam Government Alleges Conspiracy While Singapore authorities ruled out foul play developments in Assam tell a different story.

Seven people have been arrested and four have been charged with murder including: The festival organizer Zubeen’s secretary some band members his cousin and his two personal security officers (PSOs) Massive Chargesheet Filed by Assam Police The Singapore hearing coincides with developments in Assam where a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the state CID submitted a 2500-page chargesheet on December 12 which expands to roughly 12000 pages with supporting documents. This has added further weight to the case and made his fans curious on clarity. Special Prosecutors Appointed “A team of special public prosecutors (PPs) will take forward the legal battle. Senior advocate Ziaul Kamar will be the special PP. Brojendra Mohan Choudhury will be the additional PP and Kishore Dutta Pranjal Dutta and Bikash Jamar will be the assistant PPs” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. Justice for the Late Singer The Assam government has vowed to expedite proceedings to ensure justice for the late singer whose death shocked fans across India and the Northeast.
