Singapore police will meet an Assam Police team led by Special Investigating Team (SIT) chief and Additional Director General of Police Munna Gupta on October 21 as part of the probe into the death of Indian singer Zubeen Garg, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday.
Sarma said the government was committed to ensuring justice in the case.
“Another step forward towards justice for our beloved Zubeen. The Singapore Police authorities will meet the Assam Police team led by Sri Munna Gupta, ADGP and Head of SIT, on 21st October. Our collective resolve remains — Justice for Zubeen will prevail,” he wrote on X.
On Wednesday, Singapore’s Acting High Commissioner Alice Cheng met the Assam Chief Minister and expressed condolences on Garg’s death.
The High Commission said the Singapore Police Force had shared Garg’s autopsy report and preliminary findings with the Indian High Commission in Singapore on Oct. 1.
“The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has conveyed Mr Garg’s autopsy report and its preliminary findings to the Indian High Commission in Singapore on 1 October 2025 at the latter’s request. As investigations are still ongoing, we are unable to comment further on the case,” the High Commission said on X.
It added that the authorities sought patience and understanding from the people of Assam while the investigation continued.
Garg, a popular singer from Assam, died in Singapore on September 19, allegedly while swimming, a day before he was to perform at the Northeast India Festival.
Those accused in the case include event organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, Garg’s manager Siddharth Sharma, suspended APS officer Sandipan Garg, and two police security officers, Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya.
