Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Legal proceedings continue in India regarding the death of singer Zubeen Garg, who died on September 19, 2025, during a yacht outing near Lazarus Island in Singapore. While Singaporean authorities and a state coroner previously ruled the death an accidental drowning with no evidence of foul play, an investigation in Assam led to criminal charges. A Special Investigation Team filed a charge sheet in December 2025 naming seven individuals. Four of the accused—festival organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, manager Siddharth Sharma, bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, and singer Amritprabha Mahanta—face murder charges. All four have pleaded not guilty. In recent developments, the Supreme Court of India is scheduled to hear a bail plea from Mahanta following a Gauhati High Court decision to reject his application. Additionally, the fast-track court in Guwahati has begun hearing testimony from witnesses, including Parikshit Sharma, an Assamese resident of Singapore who was present on the yacht during the incident. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Zubeen Garg death case: Singapore-based witness testifies in Guwahati court Parikshit Sharma, an Assamese NRI from Singapore, testified in a Guwahati fast-track court regarding the death of singer Zubeen Garg, who died during a yacht outing in Singapore in September 2025. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/zubeen-garg-death-case-singapore-based-witness-testifies-in-guwahati-court ### 2026-08-17: Supreme Court to hear bail plea for Shyamkanu Mahanta The Supreme Court of India will hear a bail plea from Shyamkanu Mahanta, an accused in the case involving the death of singer Zubeen Garg in Singapore. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/supreme-court-to-hear-bail-plea-for-shyamkanu-mahanta --- Cite as: Zubeen Garg death investigation and legal proceedings.
