It has been known how Garg believed in the idea of lending a helping hand to the people in need financially, especially during the pandemic, and beyond
In the ongoing investigation of Assamese singer’s Zubeen Garg’s death, it has now been discovered by the SIT that financial transactions worth Rs 1 crore passed through bank accounts belonging to his bodyguard Nandeshwar Borah and an associate named Baishya over the past four to five years.
A report says, “Assam Police have arrested two personal security officers (PSOs) of late singer Zubeen Garg after uncovering financial transactions totalling over Rs 1.1 crore from their accounts.”
The report added, “The arrested PSOs, Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya, had sums far exceeding their known sources of income—Rs 70 lakh in one account and Rs 45 lakh in the other.”
It has been known how Garg believed in the idea of lending a helping hand to the people in need financially, especially during the pandemic, and beyond. Right from the singer’s manager to the festival organizer in Singapore, everyone has been under the scrutiny and these two have even been arrested amid the murky investigation.
No legal counsel for the accused?
Amid the investigation that continues to get murkier, The All Assam Lawyers’ Association has issued a statement that reads- “The death under mysterious circumstances has given rise to suspicion, mystery and a sense of conspiracy. Multiple FIRs have been lodged with the police in different parts of the State. Allowing their conscience to defend the accused will be a historical mistake for the legal fraternity.”
Zubeen Garg: More than just a singer
Ask his fans and admirers that the late singer was a philanthropist, messiah who became God for the state of Assam. During the second wave of the pandemic back in 2021, Zubeen Garg and his wife, offered the state government to convert a two-storey building into a Covid-care faculty. This was in Guwhati and the building could accommodate as 30 patients.
