Assam SIT Grills Ex-Manager Tarsame Mittal for Hours as Zubeen Garg Probe Widens

Authorities expect to file a chargesheet in early December pending required approvals.

Mittal, who had overseen Zubeen’s professional affairs for a considerable time, was summoned by the SIT over allegations of misappropriation of the late artist’s funds.

Overview

  • Mittal was questioned for more than 11 hours at the CID headquarters in Guwahati and said he will cooperate with any further summons.
  • Investigators focused on allegations that cash intended for patient assistance under Garg’s charitable initiatives was misused.
  • The SIT is examining Mittal’s professional link to prime accused Siddharth Sharma, whom officers say he introduced before Sharma became manager and was placed in judicial custody.
  • Statements were recorded from others including Zubeen Fan Club general secretary Piku Borgohain regarding a viral WhatsApp chat and producer Shyamantak Gautam, with some asked to return on Monday.
  • A Nemcare Hospital doctor provided medical information to the SIT, as the inquiry continues alongside seven arrests, potential homicide-related charges, and Singapore’s earlier finding of drowning with no foul play.
