Supreme Court Appeals Planned Against Bail in Zubeen Garg Death Case
In the investigation of singer Zubeen Garg's death in Singapore, bail granted to two accused—band member Amritprava Mahanta and suspended Assam Police DSP Sandipon Garg—has been challenged. Lawyer Ratul Bora and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) plan to appeal the Gauhati High Court's bail orders in the Supreme Court, citing charge-sheet loopholes and unsatisfactory government involvement. A civil society committee led by MLA Akhil Gogoi seeks a fresh chargesheet and opposes further bail grants. The fast-track trial continues with over 125 witnesses examined.
