§  Zubeen Garg Poisoned, Manager Arrested

§  Shocking Witness Claims Zubeen Garg Was Murdered

The tragic death of beloved Assamese singer Zubeen Garg has taken a dark turn as explosive witness testimony reveals a chilling murder conspiracy, completely contradicting initial reports of an accidental drowning in Singapore.

The 52-year-old cultural icon who gave us the unforgettable hit “Ya Ali” died on September 19, 2025, during what was initially reported as a scuba diving accident while attending the Northeast India Festival in Singapore. However, shocking new evidence suggests this was no accident but a premeditated murder conspiracy.

Witness Drops Explosive Bombshell Against Manager

In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves across India, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, Zubeen’s close bandmate and eyewitness, has made explosive allegations under Section 175 BNSS. The witness claims that Siddharth Sharma (Zubeen’s manager) and Shyamkanu Mahanta (festival organizer) poisoned the legendary singer and deliberately chose a foreign location to conceal their conspiracy.

·       The most chilling detail: When Zubeen was struggling with foam coming from his mouth and nose, Siddharth allegedly shouted “Jabo de, jabo de” (let him go, let him die) instead of rushing him to medical help. This cold-blooded response has horrified investigators and fans alike.

Timeline of Terror: What Really Happened That Day

·       According to witness testimony, the sequence of events paints a horrifying picture,

o   Morning: Siddharth forcibly took control of the yacht from Zubeen, causing dangerous wobbling in mid-sea

o   Pre-Incident: The manager personally arranged all alcohol supplies, refusing to let others provide drinks

o   Critical moments: When Zubeen showed severe symptoms including frothing, Siddharth dismissed it as mere “acid reflux”

o   Final moments: Despite being an expert swimmer who had taught both Siddharth and Shekhar how to swim, Zubeen mysteriously drowned.

Wife’s Heartbreaking Questions Demand Answers

·       Garima Saikia Garg, Zubeen’s devastated wife has raised disturbing questions that expose serious negligence. In an exclusive interview, she revealed,

“We want to know what happened to him in those final moments. Where were the security gaps that led to this death.? Everyone knew about his medical condition - he suffered seizures and doctors had strictly forbidden him from going near water. Why was he forcefully taken to a yacht party without proper medical support.?”

·       Her most haunting question: “If he was physically unfit to swim, why wasn’t he pulled out immediately.? Why was there no proper security.?”

Murder Charges Filed: Four Arrests Rock Investigation

The Assam Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) has now filed murder charges under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the accused. Four people are now in custody,  

·       Siddharth Sharma (Manager) - Murder, criminal conspiracy

·       Shyamkanu Mahanta (Festival organizer) - Murder, criminal conspiracy

·       Shekhar Jyoti Goswami (Bandmate/Witness)

·       Amritprabha Mahanta (Singer who filmed the incident)

All have been remanded to 14-day police custody as the investigation intensifies.

Singapore Autopsy vs Conspiracy Theory

While the Singapore Police Force handed over the autopsy report to Indian authorities stating drowning as the cause of death, the new witness testimony suggests a far more sinister plot. The judicial commission formed by the Assam government under Justice Soumitr Saikia will now investigate these explosive allegations.

·       Key Evidence Points to Foul Play,

o   Suspicious behavior by manager throughout the trip

o   Forced control of yacht operations

o   Personal arrangement of all alcoholic beverages

o   Dismissal of severe medical symptoms

o   Alleged poisoning before the drowning

What Happens Next: Justice for Zubeen.?

As the investigation continues, the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) with Singapore has been invoked to ensure full cooperation. The SIT is prepared to travel to Singapore to collect crucial evidence, while the judicial commission will examine every aspect of this shocking case.

·       The central questions remain,

o   Was this a premeditated murder disguised as an accident.?

o   Did negligence turn into conspiracy.?

o   Will justice be served for Assam’s beloved cultural icon.?

The investigation continues to unravel what may be one of India’s most shocking celebrity murder cases, as millions demand answers for their beloved Zubeen Da.
