Huge crowds of mourners gathered to bid farewell to popular singer, Zubeen Garg, who died in a drowning incident in Singapore.
Mourners numbering in the tens of thousands flooded the streets of Assam state in India's northeast on Tuesday to say their goodbyes to much loved musician, Zubeen Garg.
That came after the conclusion of a second post-mortem on the singer's body, to rule out any foul play.
The musician, described by many as an irreverent iconoclast, chose to sing mainly in Assamese and other local dialects.
He was also known for his on-screen performances, having collected a number of awards for his roles in Assamese cinema.
