Guwahati, Nov 11 (NationPress) The Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, confirmed on Tuesday that the chargesheet concerning the tragic passing of singer and actor Zubeen Garg will be presented on December 8, unveiling the truth to the public.
Sarma informed reporters, "The justice for Assam's beloved cultural figure, Zubeen Garg, will be served on December 8. The SIT's chargesheet will reveal numerous shocking details concerning Zubeen Garg and the circumstances surrounding his death.
He added, "Those who have doubted the effectiveness of the SIT will see on December 8 that I, Himanta Biswa Sarma, stand by my promises.”
Previously, the Assam government instructed law enforcement to take stringent action against individuals involved in the piracy of Zubeen Garg's final film, 'Roi Roi Binale', which marks the last cinematic appearance of the late star.
This film, which hit theaters 12 days ago, has reportedly been circulated widely online through unauthorized uploads and downloads.
Chief Minister Sarma stated that the Assam government is treating this issue with utmost seriousness. “We have directed the police to track down and take decisive action against those responsible. I urge the public not to participate in such activities. Anyone aware of piracy should report it to the nearest police station,” he emphasized.
This statement followed a formal complaint filed by members of the film's production team at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Pan Bazar, Guwahati, regarding the illegal distribution of the film on digital platforms.
Director Rajesh Bhuyan expressed profound disappointment over the piracy, describing it as an emotional blow to the entire team.
“Our film, 'Roi Roi Binale', was Zubeen da's last project, and it carries tremendous sentimental value. Pirating his final work is not only illegal; it is a betrayal of his legacy,” Bhuyan stated during a screening event in Jorhat on Monday.
“Initially, we believed viewers were sharing brief clips as a tribute, but soon the entire movie appeared online. This is incredibly painful and unacceptable.”
