  "summary": "The Gauhati High Court has granted conditional bail to Amrit Prabha Mahanta, one of the seven individuals accused in the death of Assamese cultural icon Zubeen Garg in Singapore. Mahanta, who was arrested alongside Garg's drummer Shekharjyoti Goswami, has been released on a ₹50,000 bail bond and is barred from leaving her hometown due to ongoing investigation and trial. The court has mandated her to complete certain formalities before being released from prison. Garg, a renowned singer, died after swimming in the sea off an island near the Singapore Strait on September 19, 2025, while on a yacht outing with Mahanta. Other accused individuals include Garg's manager, Sandipan Garg, the Singapore event organiser, Garg's cousin, and personal security officers.",
