Garg's uncle, Manoj Kumar Borthakur, has told PTI that they had sent the complaint through email on Saturday (Sep 27).

"We want a thorough probe into the circumstances of his death," he said.

A senior police officer said, "We have received a complaint from Garg's family and are examining it."

The Special Investigating Team (SIT) of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is currently investigating the singer's death and will acknowledge the complaint. On September 26, the Assam Police's CID issued notices to individuals who were with the singer during the incident in Singapore. These individuals have been requested to appear before the police within ten days.

"Investigation into Garg's death is continuing. Today, we served notices to all persons familiar with the incidents leading to his death. They have to come and give their statements within 10 days," the officer said.

The complaint comes after the Assam government banned Mahanta, the chief organiser of the North East India Festival, who has been accused in the CID complaint. He has not been allowed to organise any within the state.

Zubeen's millions of followers across the state have been demanding a probe into the people who were with the singer on the yacht.
