Justice for Zubeen Garg: Thousands of emotional supporters flooded the streets of Nalbari on Wednesday as the Bharatiya Janata Party organized a massive Nyay Yatra demanding swift justice for beloved Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, who tragically died in Singapore on September 19, 2025. The justice march, led by Assam BJP President Dilip Saikia, comes amid mounting public pressure and the viral #JusticeForZubeenGarg movement that has crossed 2 million posts on social media, making it one of Northeast India’s largest digital justice campaigns.

Details & Context

The September 19 incident that claimed Zubeen Garg’s life has plunged Assam into collective grief and sparked widespread demands for a thorough investigation. The 54-year-old singer-composer, known as the “heartbeat of Assam,” died while swimming in Singapore under circumstances that remain unclear. What initially appeared as a drowning incident took a dramatic turn when Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, one of Garg’s arrested bandmates, alleged that the singer was poisoned, leading to his death.

The Assam government swiftly constituted a Special Investigation Team to probe the case, which has resulted in seven arrests to date. An SIT team recently traveled to Singapore to coordinate with local authorities and inspect the death site, marking a crucial phase in the investigation. Singapore police have stated they do not suspect foul play but have indicated the investigation may take approximately three months to complete.

·       BJP’s Justice Campaign

o   The ruling BJP launched its multi-city Nyay Yatra on Wednesday in Nalbari with thousands of party workers, supporters and general public participating in the emotionally charged march. State BJP President Dilip Saikia expressed full confidence in Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the judiciary while demanding a watertight chargesheet that ensures no guilty person escapes punishment.

o   “Zubeen Da can never become a tool for political agendas and such tendencies must be rejected,” Saikia declared during the Nalbari rally, addressing concerns about opposition parties attempting to politicize the tragedy. The BJP has planned additional rallies in Mangaldoi on Thursday, followed by Dibrugarh and Cachar on Friday, involving both party members and Zubeen Garg fans.

o   BJP leader Dewan Dhrubajyoti Maral explained the campaign’s dual purpose: “We have launched this initiative because we want speedy justice like other Zubeen fans and also to counter certain opposition parties trying to use the death of the artiste for political gain”. The party has emphasized its commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability in the investigation process.

·       Opposition Demands Special Bench

o   Meanwhile, the Leader of Opposition in the Assam Assembly, Debabrata Saikia, submitted a representation to the Gauhati High Court Chief Justice on Wednesday, requesting the constitution of a special bench to supervise and monitor the SIT/CID investigation into Zubeen Garg’s death. This move reflects cross-party concern about ensuring the investigation’s integrity and thoroughness.

o   The opposition’s request for judicial oversight underscores the case’s sensitivity and the public’s demand for transparency. Legal experts suggest that a special bench could provide additional scrutiny and ensure that all investigative procedures follow proper protocols, particularly given the international dimension involving Singapore authorities.

Cultural Tributes and Public Mourning

Fashion designer Sanjukta Dutta recently paid emotional tribute to Zubeen Garg at Lakmé Fashion Week through her “Gadhuli” collection. “Zubeen Garg was not just a musician; he was the heartbeat of Assam and shall always be,” Dutta stated, unveiling a special mekhela chador featuring the singer’s portrait and lyric excerpts woven into the fabric.

The tribute represents the deep cultural connection Assamese people share with their beloved singer. Sanjukta Dutta explained: “It’s my way of immortalising his memories in textile form. Music and weaving are both languages of the soul and Gadhuli became the space where they met.” The collection also honored legendary musician Bhupen Hazarika’s centenary with a live violin performance.

Investigation Progress

The SIT investigation has made significant progress since its formation. The team’s recent visit to Singapore included coordination meetings with local police and site inspections at the location where Garg died. Investigators are working to establish a complete timeline of events and gather forensic evidence to determine the exact cause of death.

Seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the case including bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, whose poisoning allegations triggered renewed scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding Garg’s death. The arrests indicate that investigators are exploring multiple angles including the possibility of foul play despite Singapore police’s initial assessment.

The SIT has stated it will submit a comprehensive report detailing all findings once the investigation concludes. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has assured the public that the government remains committed to uncovering the complete truth, regardless of where the evidence leads.

The Digital Justice Movement

The #JusticeForZubeenGarg hashtag has become a powerful symbol of public demand for accountability, crossing 2 million posts and becoming one of the most significant digital justice movements in Northeast India’s history. Social media platforms have been flooded with tributes, demands for justice and calls for transparency in the investigation.

This unprecedented digital mobilization reflects not only Zubeen Garg’s immense popularity but also the Assamese people’s determination to ensure justice for their cultural icon. The movement has transcended political and religious boundaries, uniting people across Assam in their grief and their demand for truth.

Impact Analysis

The case has significant implications for celebrity safety, international investigations and public accountability. Zubeen Garg’s death has exposed vulnerabilities in protecting high-profile individuals during international travel and raised questions about coordination between Indian and foreign law enforcement agencies in such cases.

The massive public response demonstrates the critical role that artists and cultural figures play in regional identity, particularly in states like Assam where cultural preservation remains a sensitive issue. The BJP’s decision to organize justice marches reflects the political significance of responding to public sentiment while maintaining law and order.

Legal experts note that the case could set important precedents for how Indian authorities handle death investigations involving citizens abroad, particularly when local authorities and Indian investigators reach different preliminary conclusions about foul play.

Conclusion

As Assam continues to mourn the loss of Zubeen Garg, the demand for justice grows stronger with each passing day. The BJP’s Nyay Yatra, the opposition’s call for a special judicial bench and the viral #JusticeForZubeenGarg movement collectively represent an unprecedented public mobilization for accountability and transparency. With the SIT investigation ongoing and Singapore authorities conducting their own probe, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining what truly happened on that fateful September day in Singapore.

The case serves as a powerful reminder that in a democracy, public figures belong to the people and when tragedy strikes, citizens have every right to demand truth, justice and accountability from their institutions. As the investigation progresses, all eyes remain fixed on ensuring that Assam’s beloved singer receives the justice he deserves.
