Garima Garg Seeks FIRs Withdrawal Against Manager Siddharth

Reacting to the FIRs against Siddharth, Garima shared that his manager was like a brother to Zubeen from the start. "You all remember that in 2020, when Zubeen had that severe seizure, we had to take him to Mumbai for further treatment. During the lockdown, when everything was closed, Siddharth made sure we had food and supplies, and even brought Zubeen back from Mumbai by bus."

She further urged his fans to set aside all negative feelings towards Siddharth. "Whenever anyone criticised Siddharth, Zubeen always stood by him. I ask that you allow Siddharth to be part of Zubeen's final journey. Please, I urge everyone to put aside any negative feelings toward Siddharth. Tomorrow, I'll need my people around me, and I need Siddharth's support--without him, I won't be able to handle everything," Garima added.

Zubeen's mortal remains was brought back to Guwahati from Delhi on Sunday morning, September 21.
