SSP Deka stated that the accused had attempted to disrupt public peace by sharing a self-prepared “investigation report” on social media, while an official CID inquiry into Zubeen Garg’s death is still underway. The content, shared via a Facebook account named “S K Ahmed” included objectionable posts allegedly intended to provoke public unrest in the name of seeking justice.
Deka acknowledged the collective grief over Zubeen Garg’s untimely demise within the police community but emphasised that calls for justice must be pursued in a lawful and peaceful manner.
The accused was later produced before the court.
