The North East Indian Festival (Neif) chief organizer, Shyamkanu Mahanta, and the manager of Zubeen Garg, Siddhartha Sharma, have been arrested in connection with the death of the singer in Singapore, police said on Wednesday. Mahanta was arrested upon his arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New -Delhi from Singapore, while Sharma was arrested from an apartment in Gurugram. The duo was taken to Guwahati early Wednesday morning, a senior police officer told Pti. The Assam government has compiled a ten-member seat, led by special DGP MP Gupta, to investigate the singer’s death in Singapore for drowning in the sea on September 19. The SIT issued notices to several people, including Mahanta, Sharma and members of Singapore Assam Association and those who went to Singapore for the festival to appear before it and record their statements. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said earlier that a ‘outlook notice’ was issued by the Interpol against Mahanta and Sharma, asking them to appear before the CID by October 6.
