In a twist to the Zubeen Garg death case, Assam Police has found Rs one crore in the bank accounts of two personal security officers of the late singer, sources said. Garg died under mysterious circumstances

in Singapore on September 19 while swimming in the sea. He had gone to the Southeast Asian nation to attend the 4th edition of the NorthEast India Festival.Garg's band member has alleged that the singer was poisoned by his manager Siddharth Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta.A nine-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) is currently probing the death of Garg.The Special Investigation Team will soon record statement of one more who was on the yacht tour, sources said. The SIT has arrested four individuals in the case including Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddharath Sharma.Garg's band member Shekhar Jyoti Goswami has alleged that Sharma was heard shouting 'Jabo de, jabo de' (let him go, let him go) when Garg was gasping for breath, almost drowning in the sea off Singapore.According to the highly sensitive document, accessed by Times Now, Goswami also claimed that there was a "conspiracy" to portray Garg's death as an accident.Meanwhile, Garg's wife returned the post-mortem examination report of her husband to police, saying it is not her "personal document" and investigators will be the best judge to decide whether it should be made public."During the critical moments when Garg was gasping for breath, almost drowning, Sharma was heard shouting 'Jabo de, jabo de' (let him go, let him go). The witness emphasised that the singer was an expert swimmer who had trained both him and the accused, and therefore could not have drowned," the remand note said."He (Goswami) alleged that Sharma and Mahanta had poisoned the victim and deliberately chosen a foreign venue to conceal their conspiracy. Sharma also instructed him not to share the yacht videos with anyone," stated the note, signed by SIT member and senior SP Rosie Kalita."The statement of witness Goswami, recorded U/S 175 BNSS, stated that prior to Garg's death, a conspiracy was formulated to portray his death as accidental. He stated that Sharma, who stayed with him in Room No. 3010 at Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore, had displayed suspicious conduct," the note said.Asked about Goswami's claim before police, Garima questioned why he was silent for so long."If Shekhar had known it, why did he hide it for so long? Anyway, a probe is going on. If anyone has done so, then he must get the strongest possible punishment.
