GUWAHATI, Oct 17: The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Friday issued a statement on singer Zubeen Garg’s death, stating that based on preliminary investigation, the police force does not suspect foul play in the incident.
The SPF stated that the case is being investigated in accordance with Singapore’s Coroners Act 2010. “Based on preliminary investigations, the SPF does not suspect foul play,” it stated.
“Upon completion of the SPF’s investigations, which may take up another three months or so, the findings will be submitted to the State Coroner in Singapore, who will then determine whether to hold a Coroner’s Inquiry (CI),” the police force stated.
A CI is a fact-finding process led by a Coroner, who is a Judicial Officer of the Courts, to establish the cause and circumstances of death. “Its findings will be made public upon conclusion,” it stated.
“Despite the fact that SPF is still in the midst of its investigations, on October 1, 2025, it extended a copy of the autopsy report of the late Garg, and SPF’s preliminary findings, to the High Commission of India upon their request,” the police force stated.
“SPF is aware of speculation and false information circulating online regarding the circumstances of Zubeen Garg’s death,” it stated.
The SPF stated that it is committed to conducting a thorough and professional investigation into the case, which “takes time”.
“We seek the patience and understanding of the parties. Meanwhile, we urge the public not to speculate and spread unverified information,” it said.
Notably, a two-member delegation of the special investigation team (SIT) of Assam crime investigation department (CID), probing the singer’s death, will travel to Singapore on October 20.
The probe team, led by SIT head Munna Prasad Gupta, will meet the Singapore Police authorities on October 21.
