MHA formally invokes MLAT with Singapore to seek cooperation in the investigation into singer Zubeen Garg’s death.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has formally invoked the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) with Singapore to seek cooperation in the investigation into singer Zubeen Garg’s death. The MLAT, a bilateral pact facilitating exchange of evidence and legal support across borders, enables India to request crucial information, documents, and testimonies from Singaporean authorities. This move underscores the seriousness of the probe as investigators pursue international leads. Officials confirmed that necessary requests have been dispatched to expedite cooperation. Zubeen Garg’s sudden demise has sparked widespread concern, with authorities now expanding the probe beyond domestic jurisdiction.
