Zubeen Garg : ‘There was no murder, he was drunk and…’, the big reveal about Zubeen Garg’s death
Singer Zubin Garg refused to wear a life jacket, Singapore police told a court on Wednesday. Police said Zubin was “highly intoxicated” and that’s why he drowned near Lazarus Island. During a hearing in a Singapore court, the chief investigating officer said Assamese singer Zubin Garg initially wore a life jacket, but later removed it and refused to wear another life jacket, Channel News Asia reported. The report added that the singer was “highly intoxicated” and several witnesses saw him return to the boat and try to swim without a life jacket, when he fell unconscious and his face went under the water.

High blood pressure and epilepsy
A Singapore coroner’s court was told on Wednesday that famous Indian singer-songwriter Zubeen Garg was heavily drunk near Lazarus Island in September last year and drowned after refusing to wear a life jacket. Garg, 52, drowned on September 19, 2025 while at a yacht party, a day before he was to perform at the North East India Festival in Singapore.
The report also states that the singer was immediately brought back to the boat and given CPR, but was pronounced dead a short time later. The court was also told that Garg suffered from high blood pressure and epilepsy and had suffered his last seizure in 2024. Singapore police have ruled out any foul play behind the death. Assamese singer Zubin Garg, 52, died last September, a day before he was to perform at the Northeast India Festival.
What did the Assam Police investigation reveal?
The hearing in the Singapore court began a few days after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Assam Police filed a charge sheet in the murder case on December 12. The Assam government led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has accused Zubin Garg of conspiring to kill him. Police have arrested seven accused and charged four with murder. Those arrested include the organizers of the festival, the singer’s secretary, members of his band, the singer’s cousin and two of his personal security officers (PSOs).
The Assam government has also approved a five-member special public prosecutor’s team in the murder case and promised to speed up proceedings to bring the accused to justice. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “A team of special public prosecutors (PP) will lead the legal battle. Senior advocate Ziaul Qamar will be the special public prosecutor. Brojendra Mohan Chaudhary will be the additional public prosecutor and Kishore Dutta, Pranjal Dutta and Vikas Jamar will be the assistant public prosecutors.”
