The case stems from the death of singer Zubeen Garg during a swimming incident near Lazarus Island in Singapore last September. He had reportedly travelled there ahead of an event organised under the NEIF banner.
Following the incident, Assam Police CID formed a Special Investigation Team and later filed a chargesheet in December. Reports suggest that seven accused were named, with four reportedly booked under murder charges, significantly intensifying public debate around the case.

The matter gained further attention after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed the Assembly. The case had been described by him as a “plain and simple murder”.
