As the investigation into singer Zubeen death deepens, the Enforcement Directorate reportedly examines multiple bank accounts linked to Shyamkanu Mahanta, raising fresh questions about financial irregularities.
In the ongoing investigation into the mysterious death of Zubeen Garg, the financial dealings and transactions of Shyamkanu Mahanta, one of the accused in the legend’s death, have come under intense scrutiny.
CID probing the death of the legendary singer has found 6–7 bank accounts linked to Shyamkanu Mahanta, which are already frozen, raising suspicion among investigators.
Today, two HDFC Bank employees submitted all the bank statements linked to these accounts to the CID of Assam Police, as part of their probe into possible financial irregularities.
It may be mentioned here that during raids conducted on September 26 and 27, the CID also seized bundles of allegedly incriminating documents and items from Mahanta’s residence in Guwahati.
During the two-day search at his residence and office, the CID officials also seized forged documents, including duplicate PAN cards for a single company and 28 stamp seals of various government officials and firms.
The PAN cards issued in the name of Mahanta’s event management company, “Trend MMS”, bore different numbers which, according to the investigators, indicated fraudulent intent and manipulation of financial records, suggesting possible money laundering.
Mahanta is being investigated for multiple alleged offences, including criminal conspiracy, potential murder, and financial crimes such as money laundering, which are being probed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Authorities continue to examine his financial records and properties, as the high-profile investigation into Zubeen Garg’s death intensifies, with every financial trail being closely monitored.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also likely to raid the benami properties of Shyamkanu Mahanta.
