Two musicians sent to 14-day police custody in Zubeen Garg death case

In a significant development in the probe into the death of Assam’s iconic singer Zubeen Garg, two musicians – Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amritprabha Mahanta – were on Friday remanded to 14-day police custody, officials said.

The duo, arrested earlier in connection with the high-profile case, was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court in Guwahati on Friday. 

Following proceedings that lasted for nearly an



hour, the two were sent back to the CID headquarters for further interrogation, police sources confirmed.

Investigators revealed that Goswami and Mahanta were reportedly in Singapore at the time of Garg’s death, a detail that has now come under sharp scrutiny. 

Officials said the foreign trip and its timing would be examined carefully to determine if it bore any relevance to the circumstances surrounding the singer’s demise.
