Second Autopsy in Guwahati for Zubeen Garg, Funeral Procession Planned Today

Officials ordered the review to ensure transparency despite affirming the Singapore autopsy was technically sound.

Overview

  • The re-examination was set for about 7:30 am at Guwahati Medical College under an AIIMS Guwahati team, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
  • Following the procedure, the body is to be taken to Sarusajai Stadium, with the final journey scheduled to start between 9:30 and 10 am.
  • Assam announced 4–5 buses for mourners and said the DIPR will live-stream the procession, as the CM flagged crowd-control concerns given expected large gatherings.
  • Sarma said he was personally not in favor of a second autopsy and approved it with the wife's consent to preempt political controversy.
  • The precise cause of death remains under review after reports of breathing difficulty during a scuba-diving outing in Singapore, and the state has pledged an investigation.
