Manas Robin, a vocalist, composer, and music director, came before the Special Inquiry Team (SIT) on Wednesday to submit many papers pertaining to the ongoing inquiry into singer Zubeen Garg`s strange death.
Following his appearance, Robin told the media, “Today, I appeared before the SIT and handed them several documents that I had previously obtained from public sources. I feel these records will help the SIT obtain a better understanding of the mystery surrounding the sad loss of our beloved soul, Zubeen Garg.”

He also stated that he would not publicly divulge the contents of the documents, emphasising that his involvement was solely focused on documentation, proof, and evidence. “This is not about my personal belief. It`s purely about documentation, proof, and evidence. I trust that the SIT will handle these materials responsibly,” Robin said.
He also voiced trust in the probe, stating, “I have had a detailed discussion with them and I feel confident that the investigation is moving in the right direction. We are all hopeful that we will soon get the final answer, whether it was an accident, a murder, or a conspiracy.”
Robin had previously indicated on the day of Zubeen Garg`s funeral that he had proof that he intended to present to the SIT. With his appearance on Wednesday, he fulfilled his commitment.
Zubeen Garg`s death probe
The investigation into the 52-year-old musician`s death took a new turn with the arrest of his cousin, Assam Police Service (APS) officer DSP Sandipan Garg, who was with the singer on a yacht in Singapore when he died on September 19.
DSP Sandipan was arrested following a series of interrogations by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and was placed on a seven-day police remand after appearing before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court. The SIT sought a 14-day remand, but the court only granted seven days.
Prior to Sandipan Garg`s arrest, police apprehended four other people: the singer`s bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, manager Siddharth Sharma, event organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, and musician Amritprava Mahanta.
Shekhar Jyoti Goswami claimed that the singer`s manager and event organiser poisoned Zubeen Garg and chose a foreign location to conceal the act.
Zubeen Garg, noted for his work in Bollywood and Assamese music, drowned while swimming near an island on a yacht cruise in Singapore, where he had traveled to perform at the North East India Festival.
