The SIT will get the required approval soon from the MHA.”
Zubeen Garg died in Singapore on September 19 in a mysterious manner. Seven people have been arrested so far by the SIT which is investigating the death of the popular singer.

But the popular singer lost his life while swimming in the sea.
Many theories have come up after the mysterious death of Zubeen Garg. Opposition political parties including the Congress and left are trying to create a political issue out of it.
