In the Zubeen Garg’s death case, Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Friday said that it “suspects no foul play." However, SIT probing the case charged four with murder.

“The Singapore Police Force (SPF) is committed to conducting a thorough and professional investigation into the passing of Mr Zubeen Garg. We urge the public not to speculate and spread unverified information," the post by Singapore High Commission reads.

Garg had gone to attend the North East India Festival (NEIF) in Singapore, where he died under mysterious circumstances while swimming in the sea on September 19. The state government formed an SIT to probe into the case, and it submitted the charge-sheet at the CJM’s court on December 12.

NEIF chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, the singer’s secretary Siddhartha Sharma, his cousin Sandipan Garg and his two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya appeared virtually from the Baksa Jail, while musician Shekharjyoti Goswami and singer Amritprava Mahanta did the same from Haflong Jail.

As per a report by PTI, the SIT had charged Mahanta, Sharma, Goswami and Amrit Praca with murder in the charge sheet filed before the CJM on December 12 Garg’s cousin and suspended Assam Police officer Sandipan Garg has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, while the singer’s two PSOs have been charged with criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust by misappropriating funds or property entrusted to them.
