Assam CIC resigns after RTI query about brother accused in Zubeen’s death case

In a long post on Facebook, Mahanta, also the former DGP of Assam, announced his resignation and said that he has already forwarded the letter to the Governor.

"You all know that my brother Shyamkanu Mahanta has been linked to the recent death of everyone's beloved artiste Zubeen Garg.

"In this context, my conscience was telling me that if someone applies for any information about my brother, I should resign from my responsibilities in order to avoid any doubts and suspicions in people's minds," he wrote in the post.
