In a significant development, Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma declared the swift submission of a charge sheet in the high-profile Zubeen Garg death case. This move comes as part of the government's commitment to ensuring justice for the late singer, with the charge sheet filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) within the timeline.

The SIT's charge sheet, submitted in a Guwahati court, accuses four of the seven individuals, including key figures from the North East India Festival, of murder.
