Paresh Baishya and Nandeshwar Bora were granted bail by the Special Judge’s Court in a disproportionate assets case filed by the Chief Minister’s Special Vigilance Cell—after the investigating police allegedly failed to follow prescribed procedures during their arrest. The PSOs, who serve as personal security officers for the late singer Zubeen Garg, had been held since March on charges of possessing assets far beyond their known income sources. The bail order was issued after the defence argued that mandatory rules and procedures had been violated, a claim the judge upheld. Yet the relief does not release the men from jail; both remain in custody in connection with a separate case involving the singer’s death. The murder case, still pending, will now proceed with the next hearing scheduled for early August. The decision highlights the court’s insistence on procedural integrity in high‑profile investigations while keeping the accused detained until further legal determinations.
