Gauhati High Court Denies Bail to Key Suspect in Zubeen Garg Case

The Gauhati High Court has upheld the denial of bail for Shyamkanu Mahanta, central figure in the Zubeen Garg death probe. The court highlighted concerns over his potential to flee and ability to influence evidence.

Justice Mitali Thakuria presided over the decision, reiterating Mahanta's risk profile with reference to previous data tampering allegations against him. Despite a separate inquiry by Singapore's authorities declaring no foul play, Assam's continuing investigation maintains charges against Mahanta and others.
