Assam Government to Challenge Bail of Two Accused in Zubeen Garg Death Case
The Assam government and Special Investigation Team (SIT) will challenge in the Supreme Court the Gauhati High Court's bail orders for Amritprava Mahanta and Sandipon Garg, accused in singer Zubeen Garg's death case. The fast-track trial is ongoing, with over 130 witnesses examined. Lawyer Ratul Bora criticized the prosecution's handling and alleged charge-sheet loopholes aiding bail grants. The accused include Mahanta, Sandipon, and others, with bail contested amid continuing investigations into Garg's death in Singapore in 2025.
