Zubeen Garg's Demise: CID Unravels New Allegations Against Event Manager Amidst Family's Heartbreaking Plea

In a significant development, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has initiated a fresh and comprehensive probe into the untimely demise of iconic Assamese singer Zubeen Garg. This new investigation centers on event manager Sanjay Rai, who stands accused of egregious negligence and financial impropriety, following emotional and persistent complaints lodged by Zubeen Garg's grieving family.

The beloved singer, who captured the hearts of millions with his soulful voice, passed away in October 2023 after a prolonged battle with various health ailments.

However, his family asserts that Rai's actions, or rather his inactions, significantly exacerbated Zubeen's deteriorating health, ultimately contributing to his tragic end. According to the family, Rai's alleged failure to provide essential medical care and security, despite being contractually obligated to do so, represents a profound breach of trust and responsibility.

The current CID inquiry stems from an FIR filed by Zubeen Garg’s sister, Paloma Garg, in January 2024.

Her complaint directly implicates Sanjay Rai, accusing him of negligence that directly led to Zubeen’s death, coupled with allegations of financial exploitation. This isn't the first time Rai has faced legal scrutiny regarding his dealings with the singer. In May 2023, Zubeen’s wife, Garima Saikia Garg, had also filed an FIR against Rai, detailing accusations of financial fraud.

Rai was subsequently arrested in connection with that case, though he was later released on bail.

The complaints paint a grim picture of alleged neglect. The family recounts a critical incident in January 2023 when Zubeen Garg fell critically ill during an event in Udalguri. They allege that despite the singer's precarious health, Rai failed to arrange immediate and appropriate medical attention.

This purported lapse in care is believed to have set off a chain of events that led to Zubeen's subsequent hospitalization in Dibrugarh, then Guwahati, and eventually Delhi, before his return to Assam where he eventually succumbed to his illness.

The contract between Zubeen Garg and Sanjay Rai, which reportedly included provisions for the singer's health and security during events, is now a focal point of the CID's investigation.

The family believes Rai’s alleged breach of these contractual obligations directly resulted in “mental agony” for Zubeen, further impacting his already fragile health. This latest development underscores the family’s unwavering determination to seek justice and uncover the full truth behind the circumstances that led to the loss of a musical legend.

As the CID delves deeper into the intricate details of this complex case, the music fraternity and fans across Assam watch with bated breath, hoping for clarity and accountability.

The investigation aims to meticulously examine all allegations, ensuring that every aspect of the contractual agreements and the events leading up to Zubeen Garg's death are thoroughly scrutinized, providing closure to his grieving family and countless admirers.
