Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that individuals who previously criticized singer Zubeen Garg are now exploiting his death for political advantage against BJP. Following violent protests in Baksa district related to arrests in the singer's drowning case, Sarma urged citizens to trust the judicial process rather than succumb to politically motivated narratives. The government has established a 10-member Special Investigation Team to investigate Garg's September 19 death in Singapore.
