Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a second autopsy for Zubeen Garg, responding to public demand and his family’s consent, following his death in Singapore. A holiday is declared in Kamrup (Metro) for his cremation. The post-mortem will be at GMCH, with AIIMS doctors present. The state will live-stream the funeral and construct memorials.

Four men stepped out, each dressed in neat white shirts and ties, the kind of outfit that signals authority. They introduced themselves as officers from the Income Tax Department.
