Singapore police cooperating well with Indian authorities is good to see. International coordination in such cases is crucial. Hope the autopsy report reveals the truth about what really happened.

Four arrests already and murder charges added? This is getting serious. From a drowning accident to potential murder case - what a tragic turn of events. Justice must be served for Zubeen sir.

While I appreciate the swift action, I hope the investigation is thorough and not rushed. Multiple arrests in quick succession sometimes lead to wrongful accusations. Let's trust the process but ensure due diligence.

As an Assamese living abroad, this news hits hard. Zubeen Garg was our cultural ambassador. The fact that his own colleagues are being arrested is shocking. Hope the truth comes out soon 🙏

The police advising public not to share videos/images is a good move. Too much speculation on social media can harm the investigation. Let the authorities do their work properly.
