Overview

  • Sandipan Garg, an Assam Police DSP and cousin of the singer, was arrested after repeated questioning and remanded to seven days of police custody.
  • The arrest is the fifth in the case, following detentions of organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, manager Siddharth Sharma, and two musicians, with sections upgraded to include murder.
  • Two personal security officers assigned to the singer were suspended after investigators detected about Rs 1 crore in transactions in their bank accounts, triggering financial scrutiny by central agencies.
  • Singapore issued a death certificate citing drowning and shared autopsy materials with Indian authorities, while the SIT continues its independent probe using MLAT channels.
  • Fresh summons are being issued to NRIs linked to the Singapore yacht gathering after most missed an October 6 deadline, with one witness questioned extensively in Guwahati.
