Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday once again alleged that singer Zubeen Garg was murdered and that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing his murder would present its report in court by December 8.
Was Zubeen Garg murdered?
“Today, I am not saying Zubeen Garg’s death is an accident; it is a murder. We will have to submit the chargesheet of Zubeen Garg murder case before December 17. I have given the target to submit the chargesheet by December 8. We are ready,” he said.
The Assam CM also had an audience with Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier on Sunday in order to have the Home Ministry give the go-ahead to file a chargesheet because the crime occurred in another country.
He said that approval would be made within the following three to four days.
In the event of any incident in another country, the Ministry of Home Affairs must approve the submission of the chargesheet. I was introduced to the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, yesterday, and we are going to receive the approval soon. I believe that in coming 3-4 days the SIT will write to the MHA, we will get the approval and we will file the charge sheet on December 7, 8 or 9, Sarma said to reporters.
Today in New Delhi, I briefed Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri @AmitShah Ji on various ongoing welfare works and other issues pertaining to Assam. We are extremely grateful for his guidance and relentless efforts to strengthen Assam’s growth trajectory. pic.twitter.com/Gr24SbMAOX
