Four more Assamese expatriates are expected to arrive in Guwahati on Monday to record their statements before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) regarding the death of singer Zubeen Garg in Singapore. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the development on Sunday, stating that the CID has gained a "definite angle" in the case following the receipt of the viscera report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi.

Garg died on September 19 in Singapore, reportedly while swimming, a day before he was scheduled to perform at the North East India Festival. The circumstances surrounding his death have been under scrutiny, leading to a police investigation.

The viscera samples of Garg were collected during a second post-mortem examination conducted in Guwahati after the initial one in Singapore. These samples were then sent to the CFSL in Delhi for detailed analysis. The CFSL submitted its report to the CID, which subsequently forwarded it to the Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) to prepare a complete post-mortem report.

Chief Minister Sarma expressed optimism that the investigation is progressing in the right direction and that the entire sequence of events leading to Garg's death will soon be presented in court. He also acknowledged the positive response from the Assamese community in Singapore, with several members assuring their cooperation with the ongoing investigation.

Prior to this, only one Assamese expatriate from Singapore, Rupkamal Kalita, had appeared before the Special Investigation Team (SIT)/CID to provide a statement. Notices were issued to 11 Assamese individuals in Singapore in connection with the death case.

The investigation into Garg's death has led to multiple arrests, including Garg's manager Siddharth Sharma, festival organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, and Garg's cousin Sandipan Garg, who is a Deputy Superintendent of Police. Recently, two of Garg's Personal Security Officers (PSOs), Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya, were also arrested after financial irregularities amounting to over Rs 1.1 crore were discovered in their accounts.

The Singapore Police are also actively involved in the investigation and have sent vital queries to Garg's family. The Assam government has collected and forwarded the necessary information to the Singapore authorities, with Chief Minister Sarma affirming strong cooperation between the Assam and Singapore police under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT).

Amidst the ongoing investigation, the Asam Sahitya Sabha, a prominent literary and cultural organization in Assam, is planning to send a delegation to Singapore to persuade Assamese expatriates to cooperate with the police investigation.

The investigation continues, with authorities on both sides working to uncover the truth behind the singer's death.
