Singapore Police stated they "suspect no foul play" in singer Zubeen Garg's death, contradicting Assam's Special Investigation Team's 12,000-page chargesheet charging four with murder. Garg died mysteriously while swimming during the North East India Festival on September 19. The Singapore High Commission urged against spreading unverified information, confirming investigations continue under the Singapore Coroners Act with an inquiry scheduled for January-February 2026. Assam's SIT charged NEIF organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, secretary Siddhartha Sharma, musician Shekharjyoti Goswami, and singer Amrit Prava with murder. Additionally, Garg's cousin Sandipan Garg faces culpable homicide charges, while two PSOs are charged with criminal conspiracy and breach of trust for misappropriating entrusted funds.
