Zubeen Garg's manager Siddhartha Sharma and North East India Festival (NEIF) chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta were arrested in connection to the singer's death in Singapore on Wednesday.
The police said Sharma was arrested from an apartment in Gurgaon, while Mahanta was nabbed upon his arrival at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi from Singapore. The two were brought to Guwahati on the same day, PTI reported quoting a senior police official.
The Assam government had formed a 10-member SIT, led by Special DGP M P Gupta, to investigate the singer's death in Singapore due to drowning in the sea on September 19.
The SIT had issued notices to several people including Mahanta, Sharma, members of Singapore Assam Association and those who had gone to Singapore for the festival to appear before it and record their statements.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said earlier that a 'lookout notice' through the Interpol had been issued against Mahanta and Sharma, asking them to appear before the CID by October 6.
