Why is it taking so long? It's been almost a month and we still don't have clear answers. The organizers should be held accountable for whatever happened. Zubeen da deserved better security arrangements.

Good to see international cooperation in this case. Singapore has a reputation for thorough investigations. Let's trust the process and wait for proper findings instead of jumping to conclusions.

As someone who has lived in Singapore, I can say their police force is very professional. The request for patience is reasonable - thorough investigations take time, especially in international cases.

Zubeen da's voice was the soul of Assam. Still can't believe he's gone. 😢 Hope the investigation reveals the truth and his family gets closure. The entire Northeast is mourning this loss.

While I appreciate the CM's assurance, I hope this isn't just political posturing. We need concrete action and transparency in the investigation process. The people deserve to know what really happened.

The involvement of a suspended APS officer makes this case even more complicated. Hope the SIT leaves no stone unturned in finding the truth. Justice for Zubeen! 🕊️
