Garima Saikia Garg Votes in Assam, Renews Call for Justice in Zubeen Garg Case

The public appearance signals continued pressure for clarity despite Singapore’s accidental-drowning ruling.

Overview

  • Garima Saikia Garg, who voted Thursday in Dispur after being discharged from the hospital a day earlier, called for swift justice in her late husband’s case.
  • She told reporters she was unwell but felt voting was a civic duty and said the family is still fighting for a result.
  • Singapore’s state coroner ruled Zubeen Garg’s September 2025 death an accidental drowning and found no foul play, citing severe intoxication at over four times the legal limit.
  • Assam Police’s CID Special Investigation Team filed a chargesheet in December 2025, and the matter is pending before a fast-track court in India.
  • She arrived with her sister-in-law, Palme Borthakur, in a moment that keeps the case in public view during the state elections and reflects ongoing public mourning in Assam.
