Zubeen Garg's Wife Hands Over Crucial Post-Mortem Report, Puts Public Disclosure in Police Hands

The quest for truth surrounding the mysterious death of Kaushik Saikia, brother-in-law to Assam's cultural icon Zubeen Garg, has taken a significant turn. Garima Saikia Garg, Zubeen Garg's wife, has officially returned the final post-mortem report concerning her brother to the Assam Police. In a move that underscores both her commitment to the investigation and her respect for due process, she has stated that the decision to make the report public lies entirely with the investigating authorities.

Garima Saikia Garg personally handed over the crucial document to Additional Commissioner of Police Partha Sarathi Mahanta, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing inquiry into Kaushik Saikia's demise on September 1.

When questioned by the media, she conveyed that while she had received the report from the hospital, her role was to deliver it to the police. "The police should take the call on whether to make the report public," she asserted, reinforcing her trust in the legal procedures.

This development follows earlier fervent appeals by both Garima and Zubeen Garg for a thorough and transparent investigation into Kaushik's death.

The initial circumstances surrounding his passing remained shrouded in uncertainty, prompting the family to seek clarity and justice. Zubeen Garg himself had previously met with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to press for a comprehensive inquiry, highlighting the deep concern and emotional toll the incident has taken on the family.

Kaushik Saikia was found unconscious at his residence and tragically passed away later at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).

A Unitary Death (UD) case, no. 31/2023, was subsequently registered at the Panbazar Police Station, setting in motion the official investigation. With the post-mortem report now firmly in the hands of the police, the focus shifts to their next steps.

Additional Commissioner of Police Partha Sarathi Mahanta confirmed receipt of the report, assuring the public and the grieving family that "all necessary steps will be taken as per law." This statement brings a sense of assurance that the police are committed to unraveling the truth behind Kaushik Saikia's untimely death.

The community, along with the family, now eagerly awaits the findings and the decisive actions that will follow, hoping for justice to prevail.
