Courts Hear Cases on Mahavir Aqua Factory Amid Closure and Operation Claims
The Gauhati High Court and a fast-track court are hearing cases related to Mahavir Aqua, a packaged drinking water factory linked to Siddharth Sharma and the late singer Zubeen Garg. The factory was ordered sealed on April 29 amid investigations into Garg's death and alleged financial irregularities. Despite the closure order, claims have emerged that the facility continued operations, which remain unconfirmed. The courts are reviewing petitions to reopen the factory and address related bank account issues, with hearings scheduled for August 11 and 12.
