Assam: Viscera Report Received in Zubeen Garg Death Case

The Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi has submitted the viscera report concerning the death of Assam’s beloved cultural icon Zubeen Garg to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), according to Senior Deputy General of Police (SDGP) Munna Prasad Gupta.

The report, received on Saturday, is now under review by a specially formed expert committee at GMCH, tasked with analysing the findings and compiling a detailed report for the court and Garg’s family.

SDGP Gupta stated, “The GMCH committee’s report will be presented to the court upon completion, and a copy will be provided to the family both in person and through registered post.”

Addressing challenges in the ongoing investigation, Gupta clarified that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is unable to conduct direct inquiries in Singapore, where Garg passed away, due to international legal constraints under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT). A formal Mutual Legal Assistance Request (MLAR) has been forwarded to Singapore’s Attorney General’s Office via India’s Ministry of Home Affairs. “Conducting unauthorised investigations in Singapore would breach international protocols and risk rendering evidence inadmissible,” Gupta explained.

The SIT has summoned 11 members of the Assam Association Singapore, believed to have been on the yacht with Garg at the time of his death. One member has already provided a statement, while the others are required to appear in person, with travel and accommodation arrangements facilitated by the authorities.

In further developments, two of Garg’s personal security officers have been arrested, and the SIT is actively questioning several other witnesses. Gupta emphasised the investigation’s progress, stating, “Our inquiry remains on track and unaffected by potential delays from Singapore.”
