“I always used to come to vote with Zubeen, but now… It is everyone’s responsibility to come and vote. Voting is our duty, so I came here despite not feeling well,” she said. When asked about Zubeen Garg, she added, “We are constantly fighting for justice for him. We hope there will be some result soon and justice will be served.”

However, when she was asked more questions, she said she was unwell and couldn’t speak much. During this, her sister also requested the media not to ask too many questions.

For context, Zubeen Garg passed away on September 19 last year in Singapore, where he had gone to attend the North East India Festival.

Initially, there were claims that his death might be a conspiracy. However, in March this year, Singapore’s State Coroner’s Court ruled out any conspiracy. State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said that Zubeen died due to accidental drowning, and there was no reason to go against the police investigation. The police had also called it a tragic accident.

Despite the emotional moment, Garima also urged people to step out and vote, saying that civic duty should not be ignored, even during personal hardships.
