SIT Detains First Suspect in Zubeen Garg Death as It Tracks Key Figures

The inquiry has entered an operational phase focused on locating participants from the Singapore trip.

Overview

  • The Special Investigation Team detained musician and bandmate Shekharjyoti Goswami from his residence in Garigaon, Guwahati.
  • Teams visited the homes of North East India Festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta and manager Siddhartha Sharma as part of the probe.
  • Investigators said Mahanta remains untraceable, and an unverified video suggested Sharma arrived at Guwahati airport late Tuesday.
  • Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said he does not believe the accused are in Guwahati and noted that the team is tracking them.
  • The SIT is likely to summon all 15 people who were with Garg in Singapore for questioning.
