Singapore Police Probe into Rinki Borthakur's Death Could Span Months Amidst Family's Negligence Claims

A cloud of sorrow and suspicion hangs heavy over the passing of Rinki Borthakur, the beloved sister-in-law of renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, in Singapore. What began as a tragic loss has escalated into a complex police investigation, with authorities in the island nation confirming that the probe into her death could take an extensive period – potentially three months or even longer.

Rinki, wife of Zubeen Garg’s younger brother Jishnu, had been admitted to Singapore's prestigious Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

Her death has sparked profound questions and serious allegations from the grieving family, who suspect medical negligence played a critical role in her untimely demise.

According to sources close to the family and Zubeen Garg's own public statements, Rinki had been suffering from complications related to a liver transplant she underwent a few years ago.

The family alleges that her condition worsened drastically due to the actions, or inactions, of a specific doctor at the hospital. They've voiced suspicions of an overdose of medication or the administration of incorrect treatment.

Zubeen Garg, known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to express his anguish and firm belief in negligence, promising to fight for justice.

His Facebook post highlighted the ongoing investigation and the family's unwavering resolve to uncover the truth behind Rinki's sudden passing. The family has not merely stopped at public statements; they have formally served a legal notice to Mount Elizabeth Hospital, signaling their intent to pursue all available avenues for accountability.

Singapore police, in their communication, have indicated the intricate nature of the investigation, particularly given that the deceased is a foreign national.

Such cases often involve extensive documentation, forensic analysis, and international coordination, contributing to the extended timeline for their findings.

In a somber closure, Rinki Borthakur’s last rites were performed in Singapore, honoring her wish to be cremated there. However, for Zubeen Garg and Jishnu, the fight for justice has only just begun.

They continue to demand clear answers and accountability, ensuring that Rinki's memory is honored by uncovering the complete truth behind the circumstances of her death.
