Zubeen Garg
Zubeen Garg, a popular Assamese singer, passed away on September 19 in Singapore. Earlier reports stated that he died while scuba diving; however, his wife, Garima Saikia Garg, explained that he had a seizure while swimming at Lazarus Island, refuting suspicions of a scuba-related mishap. The Assam Police recently detained Shyamkanu Mahanta, the organiser of the North East India Festival, and Siddharth Sharma, Garg's manager.
Days after his death, a band member, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, accused Siddharth and Shyamkanu of poisoning Zubeen. He also made stunning claims, claiming that he witnessed Siddharth acting suspiciously in Singapore and that the manager violently took control of the yacht, threatening the passengers.
