What Controversy Is Surrounding Zubeen Garg's Death And What Actions Have Been Taken In The Investigation?
The sudden death of popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg in Singapore has sparked major controversy and public outrage. While initial reports suggested accidental drowning, a bandmate, Shakhar Joti Gowami, alleged that Garg was poisoned by his manager Siddhart Sharma and festival organizer Shyam Kanu Mahanta during the North East India Festival.
Gowami further claimed that Garg, an expert swimmer, could not have drowned accidentally and accused those involved of deliberate targeting.
