**Guwahati, November 7, 2026:** Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the state government will bring a proposed protest outside his residence to the attention of the Supreme Court and Gauhati High Court. The issue is connected to the ongoing investigation and court proceedings in the death case of popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg. According to reports, a group led by Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi announced plans to gherao the Chief Minister's residence if the two prime accused, Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddhartha Sharma, are granted bail. Reacting to the announcement, Sarma described it as a serious security concern and said it could put his family at risk. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the bail petitions of the two accused on November 30. The Chief Minister said the legal process should be allowed to continue without threats or pressure. The case continues to attract significant public attention in Assam, with people and organisations demanding justice for Zubeen Garg. **Source:** India Today NE and The Economic Times, November 7, 2026.
