The CM also told the media, “Zubeen Garg’s death certificate has come from the Singapore High Commission, which confirms Zubeen Garg death reason to be drowning. This is not the post-mortem report, the post-mortem report is a different document. Singer Zubeen Garg cause of death certificate is also a different document. We are going to send all of these to the CID. The Chief Secretary of Assam Government is also talking to the Singapore Ambassador to get the post-mortem report as quickly as possible.”
