Guwahati (Assam) [India], December 12 (ANI): Late singer Zubin Garg’s uncle Manoj Borthakur felt “a sense of relief” after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Assam Police filed a 12,000-page chargesheet on Friday regarding the investigation of the singer’s demise.
Speaking to ANI, Manoj Borathakur shared his initial reaction after the chargesheet was filed following an SIT investigation.
“My first reaction was a sense of relief. At least a part of the investigation has been completed. Yet, there is a long way to go. Chargesheet has been filed, and the investigation agency has gathered enough documents to prove the allegations in the court of law. Final verdict will be given by the court,” said Manoj Borthakur.
Borthakur believes that the court will deliver justice to Zubeen Garg and his millions of fans in Assam.
“We believe that the investigation agency hasn’t done anything which can go against their allegations, and they have done hard work. So, we believe that justice will be done to Zubeen Garg, the bereaved family and millions of fans of Zubeen in Assam and elsewhere,” said Borthakur.
