Zubeen Garg’s wife, Garima Saikia Garg, has welcomed the Assam government’s decision to request the Gauhati High Court for a fast-track court to expedite the late singer’s death case.
Garima Garg said that she had long been seeking an expedited hearing to ensure swift justice and stringent punishment for those responsible for her husband’s death.
Sending a stern message regarding the accountability of those involved, she remarked that anyone who loves Zubeen Garg would never want to see the accused released on bail.
“These ‘monsters’ must be brought to justice now,” she said, and warned that if the guilty are not punished in a high-profile case like Zubeen’s, it could lead to a total loss of public faith in the entire judicial system.
She questioned how one of the accused was granted bail and raised doubts over claims in the chargesheet that Rs 1.10 crore had been invested by Siddharth Sharma, stating she does not believe he has the financial capacity for such an investment.
“I do not believe Siddharth has the financial capacity to handle such a large sum of money,” she questioned, calling for further scrutiny into the matter.
