Zubeen Garg's wife, Garima, spoke to reporters in Assam after Sandipan's arrest. She revealed how the legendary singer used to feel about his cousin.

“Before Sandipan got into police service, he was into modelling and acting. He used to come to us. He did modelling projects with us 3-4 times. So, he was good in that,” Garima told reporters.

“Zubin was always encouraging about new talents. Since he was his brother (first cousin), Zubeen always loved him. When he got into APS, Zubeen was always proud of him,” Garima said.

“This time, he wanted to go. No wonder this man seems suspicious!!! And, please, Garima, don't trust the government too much,” posted one of them.

“But why do you trust the government and system so much. Don't you think they might be doing corruption? Don't you think trusting them blindly is wrong? Don't you think?” asked another user.

One user wrote,“Another police officer facing serious charges. How many more are involved in this case that we don't know about? Swift action by the Assam government. Justice must be served in the Zubeen Garg case regardless of the accused's position.”

“I am from Assam. And I can say Zubeen da's death was not a simple drowning.... There are many strings attached to it... Already his manager, organiser, his cousin are arrested... Some big political names may come too... Hoping that justice is served,” came from another.
