Singer Zubeen Garg gets 3 months RI for slapping minor boy

Zubeen Garg, who often hits headlines for his typical unusual acts, had in 2013 allegedly slapped a minor son in a public place here, following which his father Arup Borbora, a senior lawyer of the state, lodged an FIR with the police. A day later Borbora filed another FIR complaining that the singer had revealed the name of the victim in some local TV news channels, which again is against the laws that protect the rights of the child.

While the boy’s father expressed satisfaction over the CJM’s court verdict meting out three months rigorous imprisonment, singer Garg was seen on local TV news channels describing it as a “minor matter” and said of his lawyers would take care of the future plan of action.
