Garima Saikia Garg Demands Answers on Zubeen Garg’s Untimely Death

Zubeen Garg's wife, Garima Saikia Garg, has now demanded answers on the untimely death of the legendary singer from all the persons present on the yacht that day, including festival organisers

She expressed profound gratitude to the people of Assam and fans worldwide for their steadfast support during her period of mourning. “I am deeply thankful for the love and solidarity shown to me in this challenging time. I hope Zubeen’s legacy continues to inspire the same affection and support,” she said.

Reflecting on her husband’s unfulfilled ambitions, Garima highlighted Zubeen’s passion for empowering youth, preserving nature, and uplifting society. “Though he is no longer with us, I am committed to realising his vision. Zubeen revered nature as sacred, and the people of Assam and his fans were his greatest source of strength,” she remarked.

Garima emphasised the remarkable unity displayed by individuals across diverse communities, religions, and castes, noting that this collective support also underscores a shared demand for justice in Zubeen’s untimely demise.

Addressing the status of Zubeen’s upcoming musical film, Roi Roi Binale, Garima confirmed that post-production efforts are in progress to honor his plans for an October 31 release. “Work on the film has resumed, and it will soon hit theaters as Zubeen intended,” she assured.

On the investigation into Zubeen’s death, Garima expressed trust in the ongoing efforts by the Assam police and her communications with Singapore authorities. “The people of Assam and the police have been relentless in seeking justice from the start. I am confident the government will treat this case with utmost seriousness. I want the truth about what happened on September 19 to be revealed,” she stated.

Garima has filed an FIR against all individuals present during the incident, alleging negligence contributed to Zubeen’s death. She pointed to circulating videos that suggest Zubeen, visibly fatigued, entered the water without a life jacket. “Those present had a duty to ensure his safety and should have prevented him from swimming,” she asserted.

Recalling the aftermath of the September 19 incident, Garima shared that she attempted to contact Zubeen’s manager, Siddharth, but could not reach others involved as their phones were unresponsive. “Despite my repeated requests, no one clarified what transpired. Later, videos and photos surfaced online, raising more questions,” she noted.

While addressing concerns about Shyamkanu Mahanta, who was responsible for Zubeen’s arrangements, Garima questioned the lack of proper care. “There was no medical support, no security, and I doubt even his dietary needs were managed. Everyone, including Siddharth, failed to recognize Zubeen’s exhaustion and allowed him to swim,” she said.

With resolve, Garima concluded, “Zubeen taught me resilience. I will stay strong, fight for his justice, and uncover the truth about what happened and why.”
