Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma says case to be filed against Gaurav Gogoi in Zubeen Garg death Case

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that an omnibus case will be registered against individuals allegedly attempting to instigate unrest in the state following the death of singer Zubeen Garg.

Zubeen died in Singapore on September 19. The CM said that the police will question Assam Pradesh Congress Committee chief Gaurav Gogoi in this regard. "There are some people who wanted a Nepal-type situation to happen in Assam after the singers' death. We are not going to spare them."

Sarma, while talking to media persons, said Gogoi would also be named in the case for allegedly claiming that "if a singer like Zubeen had died in another state, shops and other establishments would have been burnt down". Sarma added, "I do not know what enmity Gogoi has against shop owners, but I will not tolerate any instigation to create a Nepal-like situation in Assam."
