Zubeen Garg passed away on September 19, 2025, in Singapore, leaving his fans and the Indian music industry in deep grief. Since his untimely demise, his wife Garima Saikia Garg has now shared her first emotional post on social media.
Sharing a throwback picture of the couple, Garima is seen lovingly holding Zubeen’s chin. In the caption, she wrote, “The last one for this life…But we will be together again,very soon Goldie!”
She also added a few lines in Assamese, which translate to: “But now, very soon I/we all need to know why you disappeared physically. Why? Now a big question! This question burns my empty chest day and night. I need answers.” She concluded the post with the hashtag #justiceforZubeenGarg.

Garima has alleged negligence in Zubeen’s death, telling NDTV, “Whoever was at the place of the incident is under suspicion. We have filed an FIR [first information report]. The organisers, managers, people in the team—we suspect everyone.” She added, “We have full belief in our legal system. I think the investigation will proceed properly. We have requested a fast-track investigation. We have to know what exactly happened that day.”
At first, reports said Zubeen Garg died in a scuba diving accident. Later, the Assam Chief Minister stated that he had been swimming without a life jacket and lost consciousness, while the Singapore High Commission confirmed that he drowned. The case took a shocking turn when one of Zubeen’s band members claimed he might have been poisoned.
A few weeks after the incident, the police charged Zubeen’s manager, Siddhartha Sharma, and the North East India Festival organiser, Shyamkanu Mahanta, with serious offences including causing death by negligence and criminal conspiracy. Mahanta was arrested at Delhi airport after returning from Singapore, while Sharma was arrested from his apartment in Gurugram.
