Assam SIT Questions Ex-Manager for 11 Hours as Zubeen Garg Probe Widens

The focus has shifted to alleged charity fund siphoning with a chargesheet due in December pending Home Affairs approval.

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

  • Former manager Tarsame Mittal was interrogated for more than 11 hours and appeared again the next day, saying he will fully cooperate with investigators.
  • Police questioned Mittal over alleged misuse of cash meant for patient assistance and his professional ties to prime accused Siddharth Sharma, whom Mittal earlier helped bring into Garg’s management.
  • Nemcare Hospital’s Dr Sashibha Barman provided treatment details dating back to 2020 as the SIT gathers medical records related to the singer’s health before his death.
  • GMCH staffer Dipu Karmakar and a patient presented documents while alleging Sharma skimmed 30% from aid disbursed for treatment, including a reported Rs 30,000 shortfall in one case.
  • The SIT continues to record statements from associates, including a fan-club official over a WhatsApp chat and a film producer, as seven arrests stand and a chargesheet is targeted for Dec 8–17 subject to MHA clearance, even as Singapore Police earlier cited drowning with no foul play.
