He had traveled to Singapore for the North East India Festival, where he was scheduled to perform on September 20. His wife, Garima Saikia, stated that the incident wasn’t a scuba diving accident, but occurred while swimming with friends. Autopsies in Singapore and a second post-mortem in Assam also attributed the death to drowning, with no foul play detected.

The singer’s family has accused his manager, Siddhartha Sharma, and Shyamkanu Mahanta, the organizer of the North East Festival in Singapore, of negligence. A named complaint has been filed against them. According to sources, the complaint also mentions all the individuals involved in the Singapore trip, including Assamese people residing in Singapore who invited Garg to a yacht party.

The family has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. Authorities have reportedly registered the complaint and the CID will soon begin its investigation.

According to NDTV sources, the Special Team (SIT) investigating Jubin’s death has issued summons to the festival organizer and Garg’s manager to join the investigation by October 6. Summons have also been issued to a dozen other people from Assam who were present on the mini ship with Garg to join the investigation.

The Chief Minister of Assam stated, “We have given them time until October 6. Summons have been sent through the Indian Embassy in Singapore. Lookout notices through Interpol have already been issued against Siddhartha Sarma and Shyamkanu Mahanta to prevent them from fleeing to any other country.”

52-year-old singer Jubin Garg went swimming in the sea in Singapore last week, where he drowned. He had gone to Singapore to participate in the three-day North East India Festival, which was scheduled to begin on September 20. However, this claim was rejected after the singer’s death, and the cause of death is under investigation.

The deceased girls have been identified as 6-year-old Rabia Joshi, daughter of Anoop Joshi (Class 1), and 7-year-old Ankita Joshi, daughter of Sanjay Joshi (Class 2). The girls were cousins and had gone to bathe with two other children from the village.

Children often go to the Tesua drain to bathe and play during the summer. On Tuesday, the two sisters went there with their friends. While bathing in the drain, they slipped and fell into the deep water. The other two children ran to the village, screaming, and informed the villagers about the incident. When the villagers pulled the children out and tried to take them to the hospital, it was too late. Upon receiving the information, the Sargawa police reached the spot, completed the inquest procedure, and handed over the bodies to the families after the post-mortem examination.

The village is now shrouded in silence after this painful incident. The families are inconsolable, and the villagers are also shocked by the accident and are asking a single question – could this accident have been avoided if the children had been watched?

This incident once again raises serious questions about the safety of children. The innocent faces that once used to laugh in the streets of Chirauti village have now gone silent forever.

According to reports, around nine young men, all carpenters, had gone to Dimna Lake. Six of them entered the water to swim. Krishna Rana, who entered the water last, suddenly began to sink in the deep water. His friends attempted to rescue him, but they were unsuccessful and had to come out.

Those present at the scene immediately informed the police, but the police did not arrive promptly. Instead of initiating rescue operations, they engaged in inquiries. The body of the young man was eventually recovered from the water by fishermen who arrived much later.

Local residents say that this is not the first drowning incident at Dimna Lake. There have been several previous accidents, but despite this, there are no lifeguards or warning boards in the lake area. After each incident, formalities are observed, whereas if concrete arrangements were made, many lives could be saved.

The incident took place at the Rajyakrit Kanya Madhya Vidyalaya, located in Hassa village of the Murhu police station area of the district. After eating the mid-day meal, the student went near the well due to thirst and slipped, falling into it. When the school teachers learned of the incident, they rushed to the well and pulled the child out. They then took the child to Murhu CHC, but it was too late. Doctors declared the child dead after examination. A commotion ensued at the scene after the incident.

According to information, the water pump at the school has been out of order for some time, resulting in no water supply at the school. Water for preparing and drinking the mid-day meal was being supplied to the school by the cook, who brought it from the well. However, after lunch, older children sometimes drew water from the well outside the school to drink.

On Monday, after eating the mid-day meal, Suraj Manjhi, a third-grade student, went to the well with other children to drink water. During this time, he slipped and fell into the well, leading to his death. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the District Education Superintendent has ordered an investigation into the incident and directed strict action against the responsible parties.

Previously, in June 2025, a similar tragic incident occurred in Rani Tola of the Murhu police station area of Khunti district, where two minor children died after falling into a well while playing near a construction site. Although the district administration had deployed an NDRF team to rescue the children, they could not be saved.
