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.
