The Assam police’s Criminal Investigation Department had asked members of the Assamese Association in Singapore, who were with Garg on a yacht on that fateful day, to appear before it for questioning by October 6.
“If the Assamese people in Singapore do not come to Assam, the probe cannot be conducted properly. The local community must encourage them to participate so that the truth can be revealed.
