Tensions erupted in Guwahati on Thursday as protestors gathered outside the residence of Siddhartha Sharma, manager of singer Zubeen Garg, demanding his immediate arrest following the artist’s death. The crowd attempted to breach the main gate of the apartment complex where Sharma lives, but a heavy police presence thwarted their efforts. The situation intensified when a Special Investigation Team (SIT), accompanied by police, arrived at the scene.
As the SIT was departing, enraged protestors began throwing stones at police vehicles, blocking their exit and assaulting security personnel at the gate. In response, police deployed a mild lathi-charge to disperse the crowd and secure a safe exit for the vehicles. The unrest highlights the community’s frustrations and the heightened emotions surrounding Garg’s untimely passing.
