A Guwahati court on Friday rejected the bail pleas of three accused in the Zubeen Garg death case. The singer’s wife also requested the court not to grant bail to any of the accused until the trial is completed.

The Kamrup Metropolitan District and Sessions Court has fixed February 13 as the next date of hearing, Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Ziaul Kamar said.

The three accused who sought bail are Garg’s band member Amritprava Mahanta and his two personal security officers (PSOs), Paresh Baishya and Nandeswar Bora. Mahanta has been charged with murder, while the two PSOs face charges of criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust for allegedly misusing money entrusted to them.

Garg’s wife Garima, who attended the hearing, welcomed the court’s decision. “We want none of the accused to get bail until the case is closed and justice is done,” she said.

SPP Kamar said the prosecution opposed the bail pleas, arguing that Mahanta was part of the conspiracy behind Garg’s death and that the PSOs failed to account for money given to them. The court accepted these arguments and rejected the bail applications.

The court also took note of three new applications filed by the accused, including one seeking details of proceedings before a coroner’s court in Singapore.

February 16 has been fixed for hearing in a separate case involving Garg’s manager, Siddhartha Sharma, related to business investments and a flat in Guwahati.

Earlier, NEIF organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta and Garg’s cousin, suspended police officer Sandeepan, had filed bail pleas but later withdrew them. Shyamkanu faces murder charges, while Sandeepan is accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Two other accused — Siddhartha Sharma and band member Shekharjyoti Goswami — have not sought bail so far.

The case is being investigated by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the CID, which filed its charge-sheet on December 12. A separate inquiry is also underway in Singapore, where a coroner’s court has ruled out foul play and said Garg drowned after swimming while heavily intoxicated.
