Garima Saikia Garg, wife of late singer Zubeen Garg, has said she has full faith in the legal system as the probe into her husband’s death in Singapore continues. She added that every necessary step must be taken to ensure justice is served. Responding to a question about the remand note, Garima addressed the claims made by Zubeen’s bandmate, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami that Zubeen was “poisoned” in Singapore.
According to a report in DNA, Garima said, "If someone has done something that wrong and is proven guilty, the ultimate punishment should be given to that person...Zubeen Garg has to get justice. Whatever the government has decided, the legal system has decided is in the right direction. Because it's a case of Zubeen, it's not just another person. I have faith in the legal system. They will not neglect anything...they will do the right thing. They must be going in the right direction. I have to cooperate and keep faith in them. They should do everything needful for Zubeen Garg's justice."
Assam Police has charged the Zubeen Garg's manager, Siddharth Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, with murder, culpable homicide and criminal conspiracy. This development comes after Sharma and Mahanta were arrested and sent to 14-day police custody. The charges were added following a thorough investigation, with the police citing evidence that warrants further probe.
According to a remand note accessed by CNN-News18, one of his bandmates has given a shocking statement, alleging a planned conspiracy to murder the singer and subsequently cover up the crime. Key witness and band member, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, has leveled serious allegations against Siddharth Sharma and Shyamkanu Mahanta, accusing them of poisoning Zubeen Garg.
He further claimed that choosing a foreign venue, particularly the incident at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore, was a deliberate move to mask the murder and portray it as an accidental death.
