The Assam Legislative Assembly Winter Session began today with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma addressing the House on the high-profile Zubeen Garg death case. The Chief Minister confirmed in the assembly that Zubeen Garg’s death was a murder, involving one main killer and four to five accomplices.
Speaking in the House, CM Himanta said that from the very beginning, he has maintained that Zubeen Garg’s death was not natural but a planned murder. “From day one, I have said on record and also on social media that this is a murder. There is no doubt about it,” he said. The Chief Minister also assured that the state government is pursuing the case as a murder investigation and that four to five people have been booked in connection with the case as accomplices.
Zubeen Garg, the popular singer and musician, was known for his contribution to Assamese culture and music. CM Himanta recalled that Zubeen had sung the song “Politics Nokoriba Bondho” for Raijor Dal President and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi. He also highlighted Zubeen Garg’s performance of the song “Axomor Ananda” dedicated to former Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. The Chief Minister urged Akhil Gogoi to respect Zubeen Garg’s memory so that future generations can follow his example and remember his contributions. 
The Winter Session of the Assam Assembly, which began today, saw this statement as one of the key highlights.
