Charge sheet to detail how Zubeen Garg was made to drink: Assam CM

Assam CM reveals investigation found Zubeen Garg was deliberately intoxicated to siphon his wealth. Chargesheet to expose how close associates exploited the singer.

"Zubeen Garg was made to drink alcohol to loot his wealth. Some people fed him alcohol and exploited him. - Himanta Biswa Sarma"

Guwahati, Nov 19

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday levelled serious allegations regarding the circumstances that contributed to the late singer Zubeen Garg’s prolonged struggles before his death, asserting that the ongoing investigation has uncovered evidence showing he was deliberately intoxicated by people around him to siphon off his wealth.

Speaking to reporters in Nalbari, Sarma said that investigators had found “explosive details” indicating that certain individuals close to the singer routinely supplied him alcohol with the intention of manipulating him and misappropriating his earnings. “Zubeen Garg was made to drink alcohol to loot his wealth. Some people fed him alcohol and exploited him. Many explosive details have come to light in the investigation,” the Chief Minister claimed.

<p>Sarma further said that, contrary to the popular image of the singer, Zubeen had not been a habitual drinker by choice. Instead, he was allegedly pushed into intoxication during events and performances by people who stood to benefit financially.</p>

<p>Citing a specific incident, the Chief Minister said that during one Bihu programme, a committee paid Zubeen Rs 5 lakh for his performance, but he was convinced—while in an intoxicated state—that he had received only Rs 2.5 lakh. “He was intoxicated and believed the same, and that’s how a certain group indulged him in alcohol and looted him,” Sarma said.</p>

<p>He added that his personal interactions with the singer did not reflect the public perception that Zubeen regularly consumed alcohol. “The number of times Zubeen came to me in the morning, he was never drunk. The things he said in the evening were only because he was made to drink,” Sarma noted, adding that the claim was supported by details emerging in the death investigation.</p>

<p>Urging the public not to link the singer’s legacy with alcoholism, Sarma said the upcoming chargesheet would offer further clarity. “I request the public not to associate Zubeen with alcohol. In my life, I met Zubeen over 50 times; he was never drunk. The chargesheet will bring out more,” he said.</p>

Zubeen Garg, one of Assam’s most iconic musicians and cultural figures, passed away earlier this year, prompting intense public debate and widespread calls for transparency regarding the events leading to his death.

With the investigation still underway, officials have indicated that the filing of the charge sheet will shed significant light on what transpired during the last phase of his life.

CM Sarma's revelations are shocking but important. We need to wait for the charge sheet before jumping to conclusions. The investigation must be thorough and transparent.

As someone from the entertainment industry, I've seen how vulnerable artists can be to exploitation. This case should serve as a wake-up call for better protection of our artists.

While the allegations are serious, I hope the investigation is based on solid evidence and not political narratives. The truth should prevail, whatever it may be.

Zubeen da's music touched millions of hearts across Northeast India. If he was indeed manipulated like this, it's a betrayal of the highest order. Justice for Zubeen! 🙏

This sounds like a classic case of financial exploitation. Many celebrities worldwide face similar issues with people in their inner circles. Hope this case sets a precedent.
