Investigation Led by Assam Police and CID
A Special Investigation Team formed under the Criminal Investigation Department of the Assam Police is handling the probe after more than sixty First Information Reports were lodged across the state. Sarma explained that when a crime occurs outside the country, formal approval is required from the Ministry of Home Affairs before filing a charge sheet. He met Union Home Minister Amit Shah to expedite the necessary permission and confirmed that the SIT will send a request to the ministry within a few days to obtain clearance for completing the process.
Multiple Arrests in Connection with the Case
Several individuals linked to the North East India Festival and Garg’s professional circle have been detained as part of the investigation. Among those arrested are the event’s chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, the singer’s manager Siddharth Sharma, and two of his band members Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amrit Prabha Mahanta. Garg’s cousin, who also serves as a Deputy Superintendent of Police in Assam, Sandipan Garg, was taken into custody for his suspected involvement. Additionally, two of Garg’s personal security officers Nandeswar Bora and Prabin Baishya were arrested after investigators discovered financial transactions exceeding one crore rupees in their bank accounts. All seven accused are currently in judicial custody under charges that include murder, culpable homicide, criminal conspiracy, and causing death by negligence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Singapore Authorities Conduct Parallel Inquiry
The Singapore Police Force is running a separate investigation into the singer’s alleged drowning. In an official statement released on October 17, Singaporean authorities indicated that their preliminary findings did not reveal any evidence of foul play. However, they mentioned that the inquiry could take up to three additional months to complete and that the final report would be submitted to the state coroner for further legal proceedings.

]]>Sarma sharply criticised the Congress party for failing to denounce Kharge’s remarks, calling them offensive to the youth of Assam. He stated that the comments undermine the capability and education of young people in the state. The Chief Minister went on to describe the Karnataka minister as a first-class fool for making such a statement
According to reports, Priyank Kharge told a television channel that investments originally intended for Karnataka were being redirected to Gujarat and Assam because of pressure from the central government. Responding to this, Sarma said his administration was exploring legal options to determine whether a case could be filed, as the remarks were an insult to Assamese youth and their competence
Sarma emphasised that such statements not only question the skills of the state’s youth but also reflect poorly on those who make them. He reiterated that Assam has capable and educated individuals contributing to various sectors and that the state should not be undermined in national discussions

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma arrived at Jorhat this morning, around 350 kilometers from Guwahati, to oversee rescue operations following a boat accident on the Brahmaputra River that claimed at least one life.
On Wednesday, about 100 passengers were on board two boats when they collided at Nimati Ghat in Jorhat. Around 4 p.m., the incident occurred.
An arm of the Congress party, the All India Unorganized Workers Congress, published a video that recorded the moment the two boats crashed. As one of the boats begins to capsize, passengers, including ladies, are heard screaming in terror and jumping into the river. Some of them may be seen attempting to swim to the other, more stable boat.
