Assam Police to Challenge High Court Bail in Zubeen Garg Death Case

The Assam Police has initiated proceedings to challenge the bail order granted by the Gauhati High Court to two of the accused in the Zubeen Garg death investigation. The decision to approach the apex court comes after the high court's decision to release Amritprava Mahanta and Sandipon Garg on bail.

The case has drawn significant attention due to the prominence of Zubeen Garg, a celebrated figure in Assamese music and culture. The police department believes the bail order warrants reconsideration and has decided to file an appeal before the Supreme Court to challenge the high court's decision.

Specific details regarding the grounds on which the police will contest the bail remain to be formally disclosed. The development marks an escalation in the legal proceedings surrounding the death investigation, with the case now set to move to India's highest judicial forum.

The move reflects the police's continued commitment to the investigation and their concerns about the bail decision. The Supreme Court's response to the petition will likely determine the next course of action in this high-profile case that has captured public attention across Assam and beyond.
