According to Indian media reports, Goswami claimed that the two men tried to portray Zubeen’s death as an accident and deliberately chose a **foreign location** to conceal their crime.

He further alleged that Sharma’s **behavior was suspicious** before the incident and that he **forcibly took control of the yacht** from the crew. When Zubeen began to **struggle for breath in the water**, Sharma allegedly **prevented others from helping**. Goswami maintained that since Zubeen was an **experienced swimmer**, his death could not have occurred by drowning alone.

Zubeen’s wife, **Garima Saikia Garg**, also expressed doubts, stating that she **suspected foul play**, as her husband had **no heart condition** and had been **advised to stay away from water**.

Meanwhile, both **Siddharth Sharma and Shyamakano Mahanta** have **denied the allegations**.
