Controversy has erupted in Assam following the murder charges filed against several individuals in the death of singer Zubeen Garg, despite a Singapore coroner ruling it an accidental drowning. The conflicting outcomes between Indian and Singaporean authorities have ignited political tensions ahead of the state elections.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma insists there is no discrepancy between the findings of Singapore and local police charges, suggesting the international conclusion will bolster their case. This comes in response to Garg's wife and opposition parties pushing for answers and clarity.
