In the latest development in the ongoing death probe of Zubeen Garg, the Special Investigation Team (SIT), Crime Investigation Department of Assam Police,
arrested two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) of the singer. The celebrated singer passed away in Singapore on September 19, a day before he was supposed to perform at the Northeast India Festival. The SIT/CID team arrested Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya, who were engaged with Zubeen Garg as PSOs for a long time. "Yes both arrested by the SIT/CID today. The team have brought the arrested persons to the CJM (Chief Judicial Magistrate) court for production," said Munna Prasad Gupta, SIT Chief and Special DGP (CID). Earlier, the SIT/CID had uncovered a significant financial transaction over Rs 1 crore in the bank accounts of two PSOs of Zubeen Garg. So far, SIT has arrested the main event organiser, Shyamkanu Mahanta, Zubeen Garg's Manager, Siddharth Sharma, bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, co-singer Amritprava Mahanta, Zubeen's cousin, and suspended APS officer Sandipan Garg in connection to Zubeen Garg's death case. Meanwhile, Zubeen Garg's widow Garima Saikia has urged people not to politicise his demise and appealed to eyewitnesses to come forward and share the truth. Speaking to the media, Garima said, "I am still keeping the faith, 5 to 6 people have been arrested in this case, but they haven't spoken the truth yet. I am waiting very patiently. People are cooperating with the investigation team and the judicial system. I hope the truth comes out fast." She added, "21 days have passed since Zubeen's death. Those who were the eyewitnesses should come out. We have lost our icon, our heartbeat. Things should not be politicised in this matter." Earlier, it was alleged that Zubeen died while scuba diving in Singapore. However, recently, Zubeen Garg's bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami has alleged that the singer was poisoned in Singapore, which led to his death. (With inputs from ANI)
