"We should trust whom?": Assam LoP Saikia on Singapore Police's remark on Zubeen Garg's death

Guwahati (Assam) [India], October 29 (ANI): The Leader of Opposition in Assam Assembly and Congress leader Debabrata Saikia said that the stark difference in the statements between Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Singapore over Assamese singer Zubeen Garg's death raises a question as to whose remarks the public can trust.
"The Singapore police have said that there is no foul play. But the Chief Minister is claiming that he was murdered. We should trust whom?" Saikia told ANI.

Zubeen Garg died in Singapore on September 19, allegedly while swimming, a day before he was scheduled to perform at the Northeast India Festival.
Last week, Singapore Police assured the Assam Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the death of famous Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, of providing further assistance required for the investigation, officials said on Friday.

"The Singapore authorities have agreed that they will provide us assistance in a time-bound manner. They have agreed that in the next 10 days or so they will come back to us," SIT Chief and Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta said at a press conference.
Earlier on Sunday, Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi claimed that the State government is hindering supporters of Zubeen Garg from honouring him by creating various obstacles during a candlelight march held by the Congress to demand justice for the late singer.
"In Assam, people wish to pay tribute to Zubeen Garg, but the state government has been attempting to undermine this call for justice over the past few days. The government is creating various obstacles for his supporters who seek to honour him. Despite this resistance, there is a strong sentiment among the people for justice for Zubeen Garg and an appeal for the government not to hinder their peaceful efforts," he said.
Meanwhile, the BJP's Assam unit on Sunday held a rally in Guwahati titled 'I am Zubeen Fan, We Are Also Zubeen Fans', demanding justice for the late Asamese singer Zubeen Garg.
Garg passed away in Singapore on September 19, allegedly while swimming, a day before he was scheduled to perform at the Northeast India Festival.
The SIT/CID team has arrested seven persons, including the main event organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, Zubeen Garg's manager Siddharth Sharma, his cousin Sandipan Garg (suspended APS officer), bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, co-singer Amritprava Mahanta, and two PSOs, Nandeswar Bora and Paresh Baishya, in connection with the investigation.
