Corroboration: 4 independent outlets

A special court in Guwahati has granted bail to Paresh Baishya and Nandeshwar Bora, the two personal security officers of late singer Zubeen Garg, in a disproportionate assets case. The court found that investigators failed to comply with mandatory arrest procedures under Sections 47 and 48 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), effectively vitiating the arrest. The judge noted no arrest memo or notice was issued to the accused. The bail applies only to the assets case registered by the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell, where transactions exceeding Rs 1.1 crore were found in the officers' bank accounts, far above their known salary income. However, Baishya and Bora will remain in custody as they are also accused in the separate case relating to Garg's mysterious death in Singapore in September 2024. They face charges including murder and criminal conspiracy in that case.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All four sources report the same core facts: a special court granted bail to Zubeen Garg's PSOs in a disproportionate assets case solely because investigators failed to follow mandatory arrest procedures under the BNSS. The coverage is uniform straight news reporting with no discernible slant or disagreement. The bail is limited to the assets case, the PSOs remain in custody for Garg's death case, which involves charges including murder. The crucial point is the court's finding that procedural lapses by investigators vitiated the arrest itself. The next development to watch is the progress of the separate death case against the two PSOs and other accused.
