Senior officers of the Criminal Investigation Department stated that the probe has progressed substantially and is now nearing completion. Officials have so far arrested seven individuals in connection with the case, while more than 300 witnesses have been questioned during the investigation. They added that further information will be made public only after the charge sheet is formally submitted in court.
The death of Zubeen Garg, a cultural icon of Assam, shook the entire northeastern region and triggered widespread demand for clarity. The suddenness of the incident, along with emerging allegations, intensified public speculation.

The Special Investigation Team formed to examine the case has compiled nearly 3500 documents to support the findings. Officials held several rounds of discussions with legal advisors before finalising the paperwork. The volume of evidence indicates the scale and depth at which investigators pursued the truth behind the singer's death.
According to officials, the deadline to file the charge sheet is December 18 but the team is aiming to submit it well ahead of schedule on December 12. The document is expected to lay the foundation for the next stage in the legal process and may shape future action concerning the case.

The inquiry took a dramatic turn after the Assam Chief Minister declared in the Assembly that Zubeen's death was plain and simple murder. He further claimed that one suspect directly caused the singer's death while several others assisted in the act. He indicated that around four to five people are being charged under murder related sections.
The Chief Minister also said that the investigation may expand to include alleged negligence and criminal breach of trust. According to him, the sequence of events began several years ago, hinting at a larger plot or prolonged conflict involving the late musician. The statement has added further intensity to public attention on the case with many now eager to know names, motives and the timeline behind the crime.
In a parallel development, Deputy Leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party Gaurav Gogoi wrote to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar requesting a comprehensive review of international aspects and investigation updates from Singapore authorities. His intervention follows the startling murder claim and reflects growing demand on both political and public fronts for absolute clarity and accountability.
As the charge sheet preparation nears its final stage, questions continue to surround the circumstances of Zubeen's final moments. The coming days are expected to be critical as the legal process progresses and the possibility of major revelations looms.
