Money Trails and Missing Answers: ED Tightens Grip on Zubeen Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has formally begun investigating the financial crime angles connected to the mysterious death of celebrated Assamese icon Zubeen Garg in Singapore, along with probing other suspicious transactions that allegedly took place while he was alive.

In a major development on Sunday, ED officials interrogated Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddharth Sharma inside the Baksa District Jail. This marks the first time the duo appeared before the ED inside the prison premises since their arrest.

According to officials, the questioning continued for several hours as ED examined multiple financial trails, suspected diversions, and monetary links that have surfaced during the larger investigation into Zubeen Garg’s sudden death abroad. The probe is being conducted parallel to the CID investigation, signalling the multi-layered seriousness of the case.

Sources indicate that the ED is focusing on whether any financial irregularities, misappropriation, or unauthorised transactions may have played a role either before or after the artiste’s death.

Both Mahanta and Sharma remain in judicial custody as the investigation widens and more crucial details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
