On September 19, the Assamese singer, known for his Gangster film song ‘Ya Ali’, died during a swimming incident. His final rites were carried out in Assam with full state honours on Tuesday.The Assam government formed a 10-member SIT to probe Garg's death.Though a post-mortem examination on Garg's body was conducted in Singapore, a second autopsy was carried out in India after his mortal remains were brought home to Assam. The results confirmed drowning as the singer's cause of death.(with PTI inputs)
