Guwahati, Oct 3: In a significant development in the probe into the death of Assam’s iconic singer Zubeen Garg, two musicians – Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amritprabha Mahanta – were on Friday remanded to 14-day police custody, officials said.
The duo, arrested earlier in connection with the high-profile case, was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court in Guwahati on Friday.
Investigators revealed that Goswami and Mahanta were reportedly in Singapore at the time of Garg’s death, a detail that has now come under sharp scrutiny.
“Given the public sentiment and the stature of Garg in Assam’s cultural landscape, this investigation requires absolute precision and caution,” a senior officer said.
The judicial remand of the two musicians marks one of the most crucial phases in the case so far, with authorities underlining that no angle would be overlooked.
