Guwahati, Sept 29: Garima Saikia Garg, the wife of the singer and cultural icon Zubeen Garg, has described the circumstances around his death as “mysterious” and demanded a proper investigation into the sequence of events that led to his final moments.
Speaking to reporters after the completion of the 11th-day rituals on Monday, Garima repeatedly emphasised that she and the family had not been given clear answers. “What actually happened to Zubeen Garg, we don’t know. How it happened is still a mystery. We need answers. He was the victim of negligence, that much is certain. But why was a person like him neglected? We want all the answers. I have faith in the investigation,” she said.
Garima described her husband as not just a public figure but her personal source of strength. “He was like a God to me, as he was to his fans. He always boosted my morale with his words. When he was alive, people often misunderstood him. But he used to say that people would understand his words 10 years later,” she recalled.
“He always wanted to see ‘Bor Axom’ where people of every caste, creed and religion could live peacefully. Humanity must survive. Today, everyone is coming together for Zubeen, so I appeal to all to live peacefully,” she said.
Garima said she had last spoken to her husband on September 18, but he did not mention any yacht party in Singapore, where he had travelled to attend the North East India Festival. “If he had known, he would have definitely told me. He didn’t know about the yacht party. I hope the investigation will look into this and give us answers,” she said.
