00:00This footage captures what are believed to be Zubin Gurk's final moments.

00:03But what exactly happened?

00:05The video shows the 52-year-old ASME singer adjusting a lifejacket before diving into

00:09the sea for a swim.

00:10Reports indicate that moments later, he removed the lifejacket, citing it as uncomfortable,

00:15a decision that proved fatal.

00:17According to eyewitness accounts, Zubin jumped back into the sea without the lifejacket.

00:21Within seconds, he was watched floating motionless, his body stiff.

00:25Rescue teams pulled him out and rushed him to the Singapore General Hospital, where doctors

00:29pronounced him dead around 2.30 p.m. India time.

00:31ASME chief minister Hemant Biswa also noted details from the viral video, pointing out

00:35that Zubin was returning to the yacht before re-entering the water without a lifejacket.

00:39Initial reports called it a freak scuba driving accident in Singapore, but the story doesn't

00:44end there.

00:45Back in India, a formal FIR has been launched at the Murakau police station in ASME, against

00:49event organizer Shamkanu Mahanta on 19 September.

00:52The complaint filed by Advocate Ratul Bora accuses him of negligence, alleging that mismanagement

00:57and decisions linked to the Northeast India festival contributed to the untimely demise

01:01of the ASME singer.

01:03In response, the festival organizers issued a statement claiming that Zubin had gone on

01:07a private yacht ride with members of the local ASME community without their knowledge.

01:11They added that the organizing team was engaged in official meetings when they received the

01:14news of the accident.

01:16The organizers confirmed his death and announced immediate cancellation of the festival.

01:20Meanwhile, unverified reports suggest Zubin may have suffered a heart attack while

01:24swimming, though official confirmation is still awaited.

01:27His mortal remains are currently in Singapore for post-mortem and will be flown back to ASME

01:31for final rituals.

01:32A voice that defined ASME's music was silenced too soon.

01:35Zubin Garg leaves behind an irreplaceable legacy and a grieving nation asking, could this tragedy

01:40have been prevented?
