The sudden demise of legendary Assamese singer and cultural icon Zubeen Garg has left the state in shock and mourning. While initial reports suggested the singer died of a cardiac arrest, questions surrounding the circumstances of his death have sparked widespread speculation and calls for a thorough investigation. The mystery deepened when Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed that state police face limitations in probing the case, as Garg’s death occurred on a yacht in Singapore.
What Happened on the Yacht?
