Guwahati: Assam Police have filed murder charges against Zubeen Garg’s arrested manager Siddharth Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta in connection with the singer’s death.
The case, which initially appeared to be accidental, has now taken a serious turn after fresh evidence reportedly emerged during the investigation.
It mandates that whoever commits murder shall be punished with death or imprisonment for life and a fine.
The police on Wednesday said Sharma and Mahanta were booked under various sections of the BNS for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, criminal conspiracy and causing death by negligence.
Mahanta is the younger brother of former DGP Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, who is presently the Chief Information Commissioner of the Assam State Information Commission.
