Zubeen Garg’s Wife Reveals Why Cousin Sandipan Accompanied Him To Singapore: “He Never Went Abroad Before

In the weeks following the untimely death of singer Zubeen Garg in Singapore, questions have surfaced about the people who were with him during the trip. Among them is his cousin, Sandipan Garg , an Assam Police Service (APS) officer whose presence has drawn public attention. Now, Zubeen’s wife, Garima Garg , has opened up about the reason Sandipan accompanied the singer, offering clarity amid growing speculationGarima said, “When Sandipan wished to go with Zubeen , he never went abroad. So this time he said he wanted to go with Zubeen, and Zubeen was happy to take him along.” According toher, it was simply Sandipan’s desire to experience an overseas trip, something he had never done before, and Zubeen did not hesitate to include him.

About their personal relationship, Garima recalled how close the cousins had been over the years. She said Sandipan had done modelling and acting work with Zubeen several times - “he did modelling projects with us 3-4 times, he was good in that - Zubeen was always encouraging to new talents” - and when Sandipan joined the APS, Zubeen felt proud. She added that Zubeen used to boast about Sandipan among friends and family, calling him “the tallest in the family” and “good-looking.”

Regarding the developments in the investigation, Garima acknowledged that Sandipan had been summoned and eventually arrested by Assam CID’s Special Investigation Team (SIT). But she refrained from making further comments. “Maybe they have got some clue in his statement. The investigation process is on and it is taking its own course, I can’t comment anything on it,” she said.

Following his arrest, the Assam government suspended Sandipan from service with immediate effect. At present, he is in police custody as part of the probe into Zubeen’s death, making him the fifth person apprehended in connection with the case.Zubeen Garg passed away on September 19, 2025, during a swimming incident while in Singapore. The exact circumstances remain under investigation, with multiple persons being questioned or arrested, including event organizers, members of his musical team, and his manager.

Garima’s comments - particularly that Sandipan wanted to accompany Zubeen due to his first chance at foreign travel offer a personal insight amid the broader legal and investigative storm. Whether his presence bears deeper significance will depend on what emerges from his statements and evidence. As of now, the legal process continues, and the family (as Garima has expressed) seeks clarity and justice.
