Overview
- The Special Investigation Team detained musician Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, who was on the Singapore yacht trip with Zubeen Garg, for questioning.
- SIT teams searched the Guwahati residences of organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta and manager Siddhartha Sharma, breaking a locked apartment and seizing documents and electronic devices.
- Large crowds gathered outside Sharma’s building, stone‑pelting triggered baton charges by police, and two people were detained as tensions spread to Mahanta’s neighborhood.
- The state has constituted a 10‑member SIT led by Special DGP M. P. Gupta, barred Mahanta from organising events in Assam, and indicated it will seek a CBI probe if the SIT’s work is judged unsatisfactory.
- Singapore’s death certificate and a second autopsy in Assam cite drowning with no confirmed evidence of foul play, even as dozens of FIRs allege negligence and conspiracy.
