Zubeen Garg’s tragic death sent waves of shock in the country. Days after his demise, Garg’s manager Siddhartha Sharma has issued a statement clearing the air around the ownership of the singer’s vast catalogue and earnings from his creative work. A Special Investigation Team (SIT), which recently raided the manager’s home as part of an ongoing investigation into the death, has now summoned Sarma along with 12 others in the case.

Siddhartha Sarma issues statement

Amid the difficult times, Sarma wrote an open letter, wherein he revealed that the majority of Garg’s 38,000 recorded songs are owned by various production houses and companies. Siddhartha Sharma wrote, “Almost all of Zubeen da’s songs, even the biggest blockbusters, were done before I entered his life. He often lamented how he was shortchanged, with producers and labels earning crores while he received only modest payments. This can be verified with those companies directly.”
