An Assam fast-track court frames murder charges against four of seven accused in the death case of singer Zubeen Garg. According to court proceedings, charges are framed based on a Special Investigation Team (SIT) chargesheet, and the trial is set to begin on June 8. The case follows Garg’s death in Singapore in September 2025, where he dies while swimming. Singapore legal findings reportedly conclude there is no foul play: a coroner in Singapore rules the death an accidental drowning. Despite this, the Assam Chief Minister and others allege Garg was murdered, describing it as part of a broader conspiracy, and they pursue proceedings in Assam. The court’s order is limited to framing charges for four accused, while the remaining accused are not included in the charge framing described by the outlets. The next stage will involve the formal trial process in Assam following the court’s decision, notwithstanding the earlier Singapore ruling on the manner of death.
