‘Himanta’s role highly suspicious’: Gaurav Gogoi says CM is shielding key suspects in Zubeen Garg death case

While nearly 60 FIRs have been lodged in the case, the prime suspects are yet to be questioned by the police, said Gaurav Gogoi.

Gaurav Gogoi, who is also a Lok Sabha MP, said, “The role of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is highly suspicious. Ten days have passed [since Zubeen’s death], we still don’t know where his manager is and where the main event [NE Fest] organiser is. These 2 people have the most intimate knowledge of the last few hours leading up to the death Zubeen Garg’s death.”

He alleged that Assam Police is beating up people demanding “justice”, but are giving the two prime suspects leeway. questioning other people…”

Shyamkanu is the younger brother of the chief information commissioner of the Assam State Information Commission and former DGP, Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta. His has another brother, Nani Gopal Mahanta, who was the education advisor to CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. He then went on to take over as the vice-chancellor of Gauhati University.

“The chief minister has said he is allowing them till October 6 to appear before the police. Why this VIP treatment? Is it because the manager has close links to the BJP…? Or is it because Shyamkanu Mahanta has very close ties with BJP ministers in Delhi and Dispur? His major events have only been attended by high-profile BJP ministers and NDA chief ministers.”
