Zubeen Garg's Family Demands CID Probe into Suspected Drowning Death of Relative

Guwahati is abuzz with a plea for justice as the family of renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg has officially approached the Assam Criminal Investigation Department (CID), demanding a thorough investigation into the suspicious death of their young relative, Bijay Garg. The family firmly believes Bijay's death, initially reported as a drowning, was no accident but rather a case of murder.

Mohan Borthakur, Zubeen Garg’s father, alongside Zubeen’s wife, Garima Saikia Garg, personally submitted a detailed memorandum to the CID.

Their plea underscores the deep suspicions surrounding the demise of 24-year-old Bijay Garg, who was found dead in a pond located in Guwahati's Kahilipara area. The family's actions highlight their unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth behind this tragic incident.

Local residents discovered Bijay Garg's lifeless body floating in the pond on a Sunday morning, a sight that immediately triggered a police investigation.

While initial reports leaned towards accidental drowning, the family has vehemently rejected this preliminary assessment. They point to several inconsistencies and unanswered questions, suggesting a more sinister narrative at play.

Bijay Garg, a vibrant young man, had reportedly been visiting relatives in the Kahilipara locality prior to his untimely death.

The circumstances leading up to him being found in the pond remain shrouded in mystery, fueling the family's conviction that foul play was involved. They are calling for an exhaustive probe that delves beyond surface-level assumptions, urging the CID to examine every piece of evidence and potential motive.

The family's decision to involve the CID signifies their lack of faith in the initial police findings and their determination to ensure that Bijay's death is not prematurely dismissed as an accident.

They hope that the state's premier investigative agency will bring clarity and justice to a situation that has deeply distressed them and the wider community, especially given the high-profile connection to Zubeen Garg, a beloved cultural icon of Assam.
