Zubeen Garg Death Case: Following the sudden death of popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, his wife, Garima Saikia Garg, has recently raised serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding Zubeen Garg’s death on September 19 in Singapore.

What Did Zubeen Garg’s Wife Say?

During an interview with CNN-News18, she questioned the role of his manager, without naming Siddhartha Sharma directly. “Why was he not taken care of when his manager was there? We have lost our cultural icon,” CNN-News18 quoted Garima as saying.

She further said that the singer was unexpectedly taken on a picnic and swimming trip despite being visibly exhausted from his tours. Garima also recalled speaking to Zubeen a day before the incident, noting that he hadn’t mentioned any such plans during the conversation, which suggests he may not have informed.

“He usually sleeps during the day; maybe he was forcefully taken. He was also on medication – I don’t even know if he was given his medicines,” he added.

Garg, who was in Singapore to perform at the Northeast India Festival to commemorate 60 years of India-Singapore diplomatic relations, tragically died while swimming. Following the incident, the police arrested Garg’s manager, Siddhartha Sharma, and festival chief organiser, Shyamkanu Mahanta, from Delhi. They faced charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, criminal conspiracy, and causing death by negligence.

Earlier, Garima expressed “relief” that the two accused had been brought to Assam. Expressing her confidence in the authorities, Garima said that she has “full faith in the investigating team” and “we are all waiting to know what happened to him in his last moments.”
