GMCH Rules Out Poisoning in Zubeen Garg’s Death as Assam SIT Questions More Singapore Witnesses

GMCH findings ruling out poisoning refocus the probe toward reconstructing events on the Singapore yacht.

Overview

  • The Gauhati Medical College and Hospital post-mortem attributes Zubeen Garg’s death to drowning and reports no toxic substances in viscera, consistent with Singapore’s initial autopsy.
  • The CFSL Delhi viscera analysis reached the SIT on Saturday, and the chief minister says investigators now have a definite angle with a chronology expected to be filed in court soon.
  • Two more Assamese NRIs from Singapore, Abhimanyu Talukdar and Tanmoy Phukan, appeared before CID on Tuesday, bringing to seven the number of yacht attendees who have recorded statements, with some also deposing before a magistrate.
  • Assam Police say the autopsy and viscera reports will be submitted to the court and not released publicly, as a limited briefing for select civil-society and media figures proceeds despite multiple invitees declining to attend.
  • The SIT is awaiting MLAT permission to visit Singapore while coordinating with authorities there, and it plans to complete the investigation within statutory timelines as seven accused remain under arrest.
