The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has finally broken down the specific charges invoked against the four main accused in the Zubeen Garg death case, offering a clearer picture of how investigators believe the crime was committed. The chargesheet lists a combination of murder, criminal conspiracy, common intention, breach of trust, and evidence destruction, with additional financial-crime allegations against one accused. Here is a detailed explanation of the charges against each individual:
SIDDHARTH SHARMA
Siddharth has been booked under Sections 3(6), 3(7), and 3(8), which relate to common intention, shared knowledge, or cooperation in the act. The SIT says he also took part in a criminal conspiracy (Section 61(2)) that ultimately led to the offence. The most serious charge is murder (Section 103(1)), along with criminal breach of trust (Section 316(5)), indicating he allegedly misused the trust or responsibility placed on him. 
SHYAMKANU MAHANTA
Shyamkanu faces the same core charges of common intention, conspiracy, and murder, but the SIT adds even more severe sections. He is accused of extortion (Section 308(2)), cheating (Section 318(4)), and destruction of evidence (Section 238). These additional financial and tampering-related charges make him one of the principal accused in the case.
SHEKHAR JYOTI GOSWAMI
Like the others, Shekhar is charged with common intention, criminal conspiracy, and murder. The SIT also invokes criminal breach of trust (Section 316(5)), suggesting that he, too, violated or misused a position of responsibility in a way that contributed to the chain of events.
AMRITPRAVA MAHANTA
Amritprava has been charged with common knowledge, intention, or cooperation under Sections 3(6), 3(7), and 3(8). She also faces counts of criminal conspiracy, murder, and destruction of evidence. The SIT alleges she played a role in concealing or tampering with materials important to the investigation.
The repeated appearance of murder, criminal conspiracy, and common intention across all four names shows that the SIT considers this a joint, planned, or cooperative act, not an isolated death. The presence of extortion, cheating, and evidence destruction further indicates financial motives and attempts to hide or erase traces of involvement.
With the chargesheet filed, the matter now moves to the court, where each allegation will be weighed against evidence collected over months of investigation.
