Guwahati: The mystery surrounding the sudden death of Assam’s iconic singer Zubeen Garg has taken a legal turn, as a concerned citizen filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Gauhati High Court seeking a judicial investigation into the circumstances of his passing.
The PIL, which has already reached the Chief Justice’s bench, demands a transparent and independent inquiry to uncover the full truth behind the tragic incident that has shocked fans across Assam and beyond.
Court officials have scheduled the matter for hearing on 8 November 2025.
Legal and political observers believe the High Court could set an important precedent with its approach to handling high-profile and sensitive deaths in the future.

The investigation team comprises an Additional Superintendent of Police, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), and two Inspectors.
The case has been registered under FIR No. 18/2025.
