  "account": "Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has allegedly encouraged protests against judges and witnesses in the Zubeen Garg death case, according to Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi. In a statement, Gogoi denied threatening the judiciary, emphasizing that his protests aimed at the Assam government's handling of the investigation. Gogoi criticized the Chief Minister for advising people to confront witnesses who allegedly changed their testimony, allowing singer Amritprava Mahanta to secure bail in the case. Gogoi further accused the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of not collecting crucial evidence from the crime scene in Singapore and pointed out deficiencies in the charge sheet presented to the court. He urged the Supreme Court and Gauhati High Court to address the issue, as the case could potentially involve attempted murder.",
