In a bid to ensure transparency, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the ongoing SIT investigation into singer Zubeen Garg's death might be escalated to a CBI inquiry if deemed necessary. The directive aims to address any potential shortcomings in the current probe conducted by a 10-member team in Singapore.

He affirmed that the SIT, led by CID Special DGP Munna Prasad Gupta, would meticulously examine the circumstances surrounding Garg's drowning accident, further asserting the government's commitment to uncovering the truth.
As part of the investigation, those accompanying Garg in Singapore, as well as festival organizers, will be questioned.
