Assam Chief Minister's statement in Assembly about Zubeen Garg death case
While addressing the House, Sarma said that the investigators were convinced since the initial days that Garg's death was not accidental. "It is a murder from the very first day. The accused, Shyamkanu Mahanta, along with 4–5 accomplices, is locked up in a murder case. Our emotions are with Zubeen. That is why we are probing Zubeen Garg’s murder," the CM said.
These claims came following CM's personal request to Speaker Biswajit Daimary to accept an adjournment motion to allow a full debate on the musician's demise, and his request was accepted by the Speaker. Opposition leaders Debabrata Saikia and Independent MLA Akhil Gogoi gave adjournment motions for clarity on the investigation.
Sarma further stated that the government had registered an FIR within no time after the death under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)—Section 61 (criminal conspiracy), Section 105 (culpable homicide), and Section 106 (causing death by rash or negligent act).
But, within 48 hours, investigators sought to add Section 103, which deals with murder, citing evidence of direct involvement in the killing. "All court proceedings and bail hearings have since been conducted under Section 103. The rejection of bail and granting of 14-day custody show the strength of the evidence gathered," Sarma added.
