Zubeen Garg Death: Bandmate Alleges Conspiracy, Claims Manager Siddharth Sharma Ignored Singer Frothing At Mouth During Yacht Incident

**Popular Assamese Singer Zubeen Garg Passes Away in Singapore**

Renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg tragically passed away on September 19 in Singapore. Initial reports suggested that his death occurred during a scuba diving incident; however, his wife, Garima Saikia Garg, clarified that Zubeen suffered a seizure while swimming at Lazarus Island, dismissing the earlier claims of a scuba-related accident.

**Investigation and Arrests**

Following the incident, the Assam Police arrested Shyamkanu Mahanta, organiser of the North East India Festival, and Siddharth Sharma, Zubeen’s manager. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the singer’s untimely demise is ongoing.

**Allegations of Conspiracy by Shekhar Jyoti Goswami**

Days after Zubeen’s death, Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, a band member, came forward with serious allegations. He accused Siddharth Sharma and Shyamkanu Mahanta of poisoning Zubeen Garg. Shekhar revealed that he noticed Siddharth acting suspiciously during their time in Singapore and alleged that the manager forcibly took control of the yacht, putting the passengers’ safety at risk.

Shekhar told News18 that when Zubeen was reportedly frothing at the mouth and nose, Siddharth was overheard shouting, “Jabo de, jabo de” (let him go), an apparent indication of dismissiveness towards the singer’s critical condition.

**Negligence Allegations and Critical Signs Dismissed**

The bandmate accused Siddharth of ignoring critical signs of Zubeen’s distress, such as frothing at the mouth, which was mistaken for mere acid reflux rather than being treated as a medical emergency. Witnesses believe this negligence significantly hastened Zubeen’s death.

Further allegations surfaced regarding Siddharth’s behaviour during the private yacht party. Shekhar claimed that Siddharth instructed Tanmoy Phukan, the event organiser, not to arrange drinks, stating that he would manage the supplies himself. Moreover, Siddharth reportedly failed to provide a credible explanation for the presence of liquor and women arranged for Zubeen prior to his falling ill.

**Zubeen Garg’s Death: No Accident, According to Shekhar**

Shekhar expressed his conviction that Zubeen Garg’s death was not an accident. As an expert swimmer, Zubeen could not have drowned naturally, he argued. Additionally, Shekhar disclosed that Siddharth had warned him against sharing any video footage of the yacht incident.

**Final Rites and Tribute**

Zubeen Garg was laid to rest with full state honours on Tuesday, September 23, in Assam. Thousands of fans gathered at the crematorium located in Kamarkuchi Village, Sonapur, to pay their last respects to the beloved singer.

The tragedy has deeply impacted the Assamese music community and Zubeen’s fans across the region as they await further details from the ongoing investigation.
