In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the death case of legendary Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, a special fast-track court has ordered the seizure of Mahabir Aqua, a business allegedly owned by one of the prime accused, Siddharth Sharma.
The court has also directed authorities to freeze bank accounts belonging to Sharma, along with those of several other individuals allegedly linked to financial transactions involving him, thereby expanding the scope of the investigation.
Mahabir Aqua, a packaged drinking water unit located at the Soigaon Industrial Development Centre in Chhaygaon, has now come under judicial scrutiny as part of the case proceedings.
The matter was earlier transferred to the fast-track court by the Gauhati High Court for detailed examination and an expedited hearing. Following multiple days of continuous proceedings, the court issued these fresh directives on April 29.
During the hearing on April 28, the defence counsel for Siddharth Sharma argued that his role was limited to managing stage performances of Zubeen Garg and that he had no responsibility for the singer’s personal security.
The latest court order marks a crucial turn in this high-profile case, with investigators now focusing on alleged financial links and associated business entities connected to the accused.
