Zubeen Garg’s death case
New Delhi: Shocking information regarding the death of famous Indian singer and lyricist Zubeen Garg came to light in a Singapore coroner’s court on Wednesday. Investigating officers told the court that Zubeen Garg was highly intoxicated and had refused to wear a life jacket before he drowned near Lazarus Island in September last year. The 52-year-old singer had attended a yacht party on September 19, 2025, where the incident occurred. He was to perform at the ‘North East India Festival’ the next day.
Accident happened after taking off life jacket
According to a Channel News Asia report, the chief investigating officer told the court that the singer was initially wearing a life jacket, but took it off after some time. When he was given another jacket, he refused to wear it. According to witnesses, Garg was drunk at that time. Many people saw him trying to swim towards the yacht, but suddenly he became unconscious and his face went under the water.
Suspense on epilepsy and medicine
He was brought back to the yacht immediately after the accident and given CPR, but his life could not be saved and he was declared dead the same day. The court was told that the singer suffered from hypertension and epilepsy and had last suffered a stroke in 2024. However, it was not clear whether he had taken his regular medication on the day of the incident or not, as witness statements were not sufficient to prove this. Singapore Police in its report has denied the possibility of any kind of conspiracy or foul play.
The witnesses told that many types of liquor were consumed.
A total of 35 witnesses have been called to investigate the case, including people on the yacht, the boat captain, police officers and paramedics. The investigating officer said that about 20 people including Zubeen Garg were present in the party, who consumed snacks and liquor there. Several witnesses have confirmed that the singer was under the influence of alcohol. According to one witness, he had consumed wine, gin and whiskey as well as Guinness Stout.
