Zubeen death probe: Key accused Shyamkanu Mahanta’s bail plea rejected

A special court in Assam on Thursday (April 30, 2026) rejected the bail petition of Shyamkanu Mahanta, prime accused in the singer Zubeen Garg’s death case, as there is a “risk of fleeing”.

After hearing arguments from both sides, the Special Fast-track Court Judge Sharmila Bhuyan denied bail to Mr. Mahanta, the chief organiser of the North East India Festival in Singapore.
