PTI, 18 October, 2025, Guwahati : A 27-year-old man has been arrested in Assam’s Nagaon district for allegedly posting a controversial video with inflammatory remarks on social media related to the death of singer Zubeen Garg, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday.

The accused had used a clip from an OTT platform and added inflammatory remarks to it, he said.

Sarma, in a post on X, said, “One Md Injamul Hoque (27 years) of Telia Bebejia in Nagaon has been apprehended for posting a controversial video on his Facebook page under the name “SK Ahmad” on October 15 relating to the death of Garg”.
