Keep Posting with Hashtag #JusticeForZubeenGarg Till We Know What Happened: Wife

PTI, GUWAHATI, OCT 11, 2025: Assam's cultural icon Zubeen Garg's wife, Garima, has urged the people to continue demanding justice for the singer-composer, highlighting that the circumstances surrounding Garg's death while swimming in the sea in Singapore have not been unraveled, even after 22 days. She appealed to the public to use social media as a platform and keep posting with the hashtag #JusticeForZubeenGarg.

Garima, who visited Garg's cremation site at Kamarkuchi on the outskirts of Guwahati late on Friday night, made the plea for a swift investigation into her husband's death. She joined the people gathered there to offer tributes to the heartthrob of Assam, staying past midnight.

"I have a prayer... Zubeen should get justice, so keep using the hashtag every time. We have to know what had happened. It is 22 days now, and we still don’t know what happened," Garima said, kneeling with folded hands. She urged the public to continue demanding justice via social media.

"We are waiting patiently, but we have to get justice. We don’t want any trouble, we want justice peacefully," she added.

Garima, along with Garg's uncle and sister, had also filed a police complaint demanding a thorough investigation and naming several individuals, including those present with the singer in his final moments, who they believe should be brought under the investigation’s purview.

Garg's sister, Palme Borthakur, in a late-night post on Facebook, wrote, "#JusticeForZubeenGarg."

The Assam Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is handling the case and has formed a 10-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) for the investigation. So far, seven individuals—North East India Festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, the singer's cousin Sandipan Garg, his manager Siddhartha Sharma, musician Shekharjyoti Goswami, singer Amritprava Mahanta, and his two PSOs Nandeswar Bora and Prabin Baishya—have been arrested in connection with the case.
