Sources told NDTV that the two arrested people were identified as bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and co-singer Amritprava Mahanta.

Both the arrested individuals were with Garg at the yacht party on September 19 when the North East India Festival was held in Singapore.

Shocking his fans, the singer went for a swim and was found floating face down in the water.

Sources in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) told NDTV that Goswami was seen, in videos, swimming very close to Garg while Mahanta recorded the entire incident on her cellphone. Both of them were questioned over the past six days.

"The investigation is going on and I cannot share details at this time but we have added charges under Section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita," Munna Gupta, the Special Director General of Police of Assam's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), who is heading the SIT, told NDTV.
