I have directed the @DGPAssamPolice to transfer all the FIRs to the CID and to register a consolidated case for a thorough investigation.” For the unversed, Syamkanu Mahanta was the chief organiser of the Northeast Festival.
In another thread, Biswa shared that he will be going to Delhi later today to receive Zubeen Garg’s mortal remains from Singapore. From there, he will immediately bring him back to Guwahati by early Sunday. He has urged his fans in Assam not to be present outside his house as his family wants to mourn in private.
Meanwhile, Ravi Kota, Assam chief secretary, has announced state mourning from September 20 to September 22. “During this period, there will be no official entertainment, dinners, or ceremonial functions,” read the X post.
