NEW DELHI: The family of Zubeen Garg on Sunday filed a complaint with the state CID, demanding a thorough investigation into the singer’s death by drowning in Singapore on September 19.
Garg’s uncle Manoj Kumar Borthakur, along with his wife Garima and sister Palme Borthakur, signed the complaint and sent it by email on Saturday. “We want a thorough probe into the circumstances of his death,” Borthakur was quoted as saying to news agency PTI.
A senior police officer confirmed the complaint and said it will be taken up with the Special Investigation Team of CID, which is already looking into the incidents surrounding Garg’s death. On Sunday, the SIT visited Garg’s residence in Guwahati’s Kahilipara area to record family statements. “We needed to ask certain things, and our officers met the family. Their statements are being recorded,” the officer added.
Meanwhile, Tezpur University has been caught in controversy after its teachers’ association accused Vice Chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh of grave financial irregularities and also condemned his alleged disrespectful remarks about Garg. The Tezpur University Teachers’ Association submitted a memorandum to Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, demanding Singh’s removal.
Tensions on campus rose further after students confronted Singh over his remarks on Garg, leading the Sonitpur district administration to order a magisterial probe.
