The actual cause of death still eludes us
The enigmatic death of Assam's popular singer and actor Zubeen Garg continues to raise questions and suspicion, with more recent analysis suggesting sinister patterns and inexplicable delays that call for explanations.
Observers have noticed three recurring patterns in the last few years of Garg’s life. On at least three occasions, multiple unusual circumstances — six to eight similar factors — happened at the same time. The most recent of these occurred in Singapore. Reports also suggest that Garima Saikia Garg (Zubeen's Wife) was repeatedly prevented from travelling to Singapore, and that only a few select people organized private gatherings there without informing anyone else.
Apart from these trends, other crucial details regarding Garg's death are unresolved. The actual cause of death still eludes us; the period between when he left his hotel and the accident is unknown, and there was an unseen delay of at least two and a half to four hours before an ambulance showed up at the port. The whereabouts and activities of the main players during this time are unknown, and all this fuels public suspicion.
Allegations go as far as probable criminal negligence, conspiracy, and financial irregularities. Video evidence that might have been useful was allegedly taken off the streets as soon as doubts were raised in the public mind, indicating an active suppression of the same. Moreover, Siddharth, who had offered to aid the investigation, is said to have changed his SIM card on September 26, implicating probable moves to destroy important call records.
Evidence is said to be in jeopardy. A strip of tablet, perhaps invaluable for confirming timelines and communication, was retained by Siddharth. If these sorts of devices are lost or damaged, presenting real evidence in court would become almost impossible.
Public opinion is a mirror of increasing frustration. People say that justice for Zubeen Garg is no longer merely a judicial matter; it is a social and moral obligation. With increasing questions over delays, missing pieces of evidence, and possible roles played by influential people, citizens of Assam are demanding social, legal, and even divine justice to get to the bottom of things.
As officials pursue their investigation, the unresolved questions and series of inconsistencies leave a portrait which many feel can no longer be dismissed. The folks of Assam, witnessing their cultural icon pass away in suspicious circumstances, now await an investigation that provides not merely procedural resolution but true justice.
