Zubeen Garg's Family Seeks Special Court
Zubeen Garg was a famous singer from Assam who died in Singapore on September 19, 2025.
His family is very sad and wants justice.
They wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, asking for a special court to hear the case quickly.
They also want the people accused of causing his death to stay in jail until the trial is over.
The family is working with both Indian and Singaporean authorities to find out what happened.
The Singapore authorities say Zubeen was very drunk and drowned, but his family wants a full investigation to understand everything that happened.
Zubeen Garg's family submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting a special court and expedited trial in his death case.
The family seeks active diplomatic and legal engagement with Singapore to monitor proceedings and ensure access to relevant materials.
Assam Police filed a 2,500+ page chargesheet, invoking murder and other charges against seven accused.
The Singapore Coroner's Court ruled out foul play, stating Garg was severely intoxicated and drowned.
The family demands no bail for the accused until the judicial process is completed and the case reaches its conclusion.
