Fourth Hearing in Zubeen Garg Death Case

The fourth hearing in the case of Zubeen Garg's death took place on January 17 in Guwahati.

All five accused appeared virtually from jail.

The court discussed bail applications for Amritprava Mahanta and Nandeshwar Bora, with the state government opposing Mahanta's bail on January 22.

All accused have filed bail applications, and the court set January 22 for hearing these pleas.

Charge framing and other proceedings are scheduled for January 30.

The accused have appointed senior lawyers, and the Assam government has strengthened its legal team.

Zubeen's wife, Garima Saikia Garg, has also appointed a lawyer.

The court allowed virtual participation but warned that proceedings would not halt due to technical issues.

The prosecution clarified that charge framing cannot proceed until the copy process is complete.

Garima Saikia Garg stated that accountability would be ensured and that Singapore authorities are cooperating with the investigation.
