Zubeen Garg Death Probe: Assam Cop Cousin Arrested | CM vs Congress Faceoff Over SIT Findings

Video Description

In a stunning twist to the Zubeen Garg death investigation, the probe has taken a major turn with the arrest of the singer’s cousin, Sandipan Garg, who also serves as a Superintendent of Police in Assam’s Boko district. The arrest — carried out by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the CID Department — marks the fifth major arrest in the mysterious death case of one of Assam’s most loved and celebrated voices. According to sources, Sandipan Garg was present with Zubeen on the yacht in Singapore on that fateful day. After hours of interrogation, the SIT found enough grounds to arrest him — a move that has sent shockwaves across Assam’s music and administrative circles. The probe, which began after Zubeen’s suspicious drowning in the island nation, now seems to be uncovering deeper personal and political connections behind the tragedy. FPJ’s Afrida Rehman Ali, who has been closely following the case from Assam, reports that the investigation has now opened a financial trail, revealing that Zubeen’s personal security officers allegedly held amounts disproportionate to their known income. The SIT has reportedly tracked multiple bank accounts that may have seen questionable transfers. This raises crucial questions — who handled the money from Zubeen’s concerts, who managed his performance deals, and most importantly — who stood to gain if Zubeen was silenced? The story doesn’t end there. A political storm has erupted after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made direct allegations against Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, claiming that the SIT has uncovered “damaging details” involving senior opposition figures. Gogoi, in turn, has hit back — accusing the Chief Minister of shielding Shyamkanu Mahanta, the festival director of the Singapore Northeast Festival where Zubeen last performed, alleging that the CM “has a lot to lose if Mahanta decides to speak out.” Adding another twist, viral videos have surfaced showing Zubeen expressing reluctance to travel to Singapore, allegedly saying he “didn’t want to go but had no choice.” This has triggered a wave of speculation about whether the singer was under pressure to attend. The exploitation angle — both financial and emotional — now appears to be at the core of what might be one of Assam’s most disturbing celebrity cases. The Chief Minister has dismissed Gogoi’s charges, even using the local expression “Bundiya Mujia” to describe the closeness between Gogoi and Mahanta, suggesting a deep political nexus. Both leaders now stand at opposite ends of a battle that has blurred the lines between politics, police, and the personal life of an icon. As Afrida concludes in the FPJ special, the truth behind Zubeen Garg’s death is still unravelling. Who exploited Zubeen? Who benefited from his silence? And will the truth finally come out?
