Assamese singer Zubeen Garg passed away last month in Singapore due to drowning. Multiple arrests have taken place in the death probe, and now, on Friday, October 10, 2025, his two Personal Security Officers (PSO) were arrested after the police found around Rs. 1 crore of transactions in their bank accounts.
According to ANI, the SIT/CID team arrested PSOs Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya. The two were with Zubeen for a long time, but they didn’t travel to Singapore with him. They were taken to the CJM court, and the court remanded them to a five-day police custody.
While talking to PTI, CID Special DGP Munna Prasad Gupta revealed that the police found a transaction of Rs. 70 lakh in one PSO’s account and a transaction of Rs. 45 lakh in another’s account. The amounts exceed their known sources of income. Gupta said, “We found financial irregularities in their bank accounts. One PSO’s account shows Rs 70 lakh, while Rs 45 lakh was detected in the other’s account.”
