Zubeen Garg Death Inquiry Extends Affidavit Deadline to December 12
Led by Gauhati High Court Justice Soumitra Saikia, the panel granted more time for notarised statements with supporting records to aid its reconstruction of events around the singer’s death.
Overview
- A notice from member-secretary Aroop Pathak sets December 12, 2025 as the new cut-off for receiving sworn affidavits.
- The 21-day extension follows multiple requests and pending submissions after the original November 21 deadline.
- Affidavits must be duly notarised and accompanied by a list of supporting documents or the sources from which remaining records can be obtained.
- The commission began recording statements on November 3 and was constituted by the Assam government to probe the September 19 Singapore incident.
- The mandate covers reconstructing events and examining possible lapses, negligence or external factors, with local reports noting a parallel SIT probe sending two bags from Garg’s Kahilipara home for forensic testing.
