The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Assam Police on Thursday arrested musician Shekhar Jyoti Goswami in connection with the death of iconic Assamese singer Zubeen Garg.

Goswami was reportedly part of the group that accompanied Zubeen on the yacht trip in Singapore, during which the tragic incident took place.

According to officials, Goswami was arrested after he was taken into custody for questioning earlier today. Meanwhile, the exact details of the allegations against him have not been made public. It is also unclear whether any formal charges will be filed.

The arrest comes as the SIT continues its probe into the singer’s untimely death, which occurred on September 19 in Singapore, where Zubeen had travelled to attend and perform at the North East India Festival. He drowned while swimming in the sea and could not be revived despite medical efforts.
