Guwahati: In a major breakthrough in the investigation into the death of legendary singer Zubeen Garg, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday, October 12, revealed that members of the Assamese diaspora in Singapore have stepped forward to assist the ongoing probe.
Speaking to reporters, Sarma said the government had received “positive signals” from Assamese expatriates residing in Singapore, whose cooperation could bring fresh clarity to the high-profile case.
“We have received encouraging responses from the Assamese community in Singapore. While I cannot share details at this stage, I expect some good news within a day or two. A section of the expat Assamese population has agreed to cooperate with the investigation,” the Chief Minister stated.
Sarma further disclosed that Singapore Police are actively participating in the inquiry and have already sent queries to families concerned as part of their independent investigation. “Singapore police are working in tandem with our authorities. They have sought clarifications from the families involved. Like us, they are committed to a transparent and thorough investigation,” he said.
Highlighting the strong coordination between India and Singapore, Sarma confirmed that all essential documents and evidence — including crime scene materials, forensic data, and witness statements — have been forwarded to Singapore through the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
“Everything necessary for the investigation is now with the Attorney General of Singapore,” Sarma noted.
The Chief Minister expressed optimism that the joint efforts of Indian and Singaporean authorities, strengthened by the support of the Assamese community abroad, would help ensure that justice for Zubeen Garg is delivered swiftly and transparently.
