Gauhati High Court Grants Bail to Amritprabha Mahanta in Zubeen Garg Death Case
The Gauhati High Court granted bail to Amritprabha Mahanta, one of the accused in the death case of Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, on a bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of the same amount. The decision followed several days of hearings, with the court deeming it a fit case for bail. Mahanta's lawyer claimed insufficient evidence against her. The bail order must be submitted to the trial court before her release. Garg died under mysterious circumstances in Singapore in September 2025, prompting a Special Investigation Team probe.
