Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62473, member: 636"] Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday that federal authorities activated the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with Singapore to investigate singer Zubeen Garg's death. The Union Home Ministry sent formal documentation to Singapore's Attorney General requesting cooperation in the criminal probe. State police filed charges against festival organizer Shyamkanu Mahanta, manager Siddhartha Sharma, and others for criminal conspiracy and negligent homicide. Garg died on September 19 after experiencing breathing problems while swimming during a yacht excursion in Singapore. Authorities issued a death certificate listing drowning as the cause. The Special Investigation Team will use the treaty to obtain medical records, forensic evidence, and official documents from Singaporean officials. Police have questioned witnesses and issued travel alerts for the accused individuals. [/QUOTE]
