While Singapore police, in a statement, brushed all suspicions regarding the singer's death and said they do not suspect any foul play in his demise, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said last month that the singer's death in Singapore was not accidental, but a case of "plain and simple" murder. He added that the SIT will file a "watertight chargesheet and the motive behind the crime will shock the people of the state".
