Guwahati, April 10 -- A key accused in the death case of singer Zubeen Garg, Shyamkanu Mahanta, on April 10 filed a fresh bail application before a special fast-track court in Guwahati.

Special public prosecutor Ziaur Kamar said the defence had sought April 13 for the hearing, but the court has scheduled it for April 22. He added that the prosecution will submit its objections to the bail plea.

Mahanta had previously filed a bail application but later withdrew it.

The case is currently being heard on a day-to-day basis by a special sessions fast-track court.

Zubeen Garg died on September 19 last year while swimming near Lazarus Island, a day before he was to perform at the North East India Festival (NEIF).
