Special DGP MP Gupta, under whose leadership the Chief Minister had handed over this case to the SIT, said that the SIT has interrogated 300 witnesses in this case.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma had formed the SIT. He had said that he considered the death a murder case and the state government would do anything to get justice for the “son of the country”. He handed over the investigation of Zubeen Garg’s death to SIT under the leadership of Special DGP MP Gupta. After this, he claimed in the recently concluded assembly session that Garg’s death was murder.
