Guwahati: Days after singer Zubeen Garg's death, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Thursday raided Zubeen Garg's manager Siddharth Sharma's residence in Guwahati's Datalpara, according to India Today.
Reportedly, CID officials arrived at the premises in the morning and remained stationed outside the three-storey building for nearly two hours before starting the search. When the team reached Sharma's flat, they found it locked. The lock was broken and a search was conducted by the team.
The search, conducted in the presence of a magistrate, targeted Flat 3A, a 3BHK unit on the third floor, where Sharma and his family have been living since 2019.
Residents of the building said, Siddharth and his family were not seen since the day Zubeen died.
The Assam government has formed a 10-member SIT headed by Special DGP MP Gupta to investigate the singer's death.
SIT also conducted searches at chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta's residence.
The raid comes a day after the Assam government banned Mahanta from holding any function or event.
