Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has stated that the state government intends to file a charge sheet in the Zubeen Garg death case by December 8. Underscoring his assertions that the singer`s death was a murder rather than an accident, he stated, "We will submit the chargesheet by December 17. Our target date is December 8."

The process, he added, requires approval from the Union Home Ministry because the probe incorporates elements from a foreign country. He further acknowledged that he had already discussed the issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
