Zubeen Garg&rsquo;s cousin and Assam Police DSP Sandipan Garg was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the singer's death in Singapore last month, a senior officer said.
The DSP was booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, criminal conspiracy, and causing death by negligence, he said.
This is the fifth arrest in the case.
Earlier, North East India Festival chief organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, the singer's manager Siddharth Sharma, and his two band members - Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and Amrit Prabha Mahanta - were apprehended.
"We have arrested Sandipan Garg. Now, we are doing the necessary legal formalities," CID Special DGP Munna Prasad Gupta told PTI.
The apprehended police officer was interrogated several times in the last few days over the singer's death in Singapore last month.
Sandipan Garg, a deputy SP and a cousin of the singer, was present with him during the alleged drowning incident in the island country.
"Our team has taken him to a court here. We will seek police remand," another senior officer said.
The four others, who were arrested earlier in connection with the case, are now in police custody.
Zubeen Garg died in Singapore on September 19 while swimming in the sea. He had gone to the Southeast Asian nation to attend the 4th edition of the North East India Festival, organised by Shyamkanu Mahanta and his company.

Assam court sends Zubeen Garg&rsquo;s band members to 14-day police remand. CID continues investigation into singer&rsquo;s death and alleged financial crimes of festival organiser.

A court in Assam on Friday sent Zubeen Garg's band members Shekharjyoti Goswami and Amritprabha Mahanta to 14 days of police remand in connection with the death of the singer-composer.
Munna Prasad Gupta, the Special DGP of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), told PTI that the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Kamrup Metropolitan district accepted the plea for further interrogation and sent the duo to 14 days of police remand.
"The interrogation of all the four arrested accused is underway. I cannot share anything more at this moment," he said.
Drummer Goswami and co-singer Mahanta were arrested on Thursday after days of interrogation. The two were present on the yacht in Singapore when Garg died while swimming in the sea on September 19.
Police have already invoked murder charges against Garg's manager Siddharth Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, who were nabbed from Delhi on Wednesday. They are also in CID custody for 14 days.
Garg had gone to the Southeast Asian nation to attend the 4th edition of the NorthEast India Festival, organised by Shyamkanu Mahanta and his company.
More than 60 FIRs have been lodged across Assam against Mahanta and around 10 others, including Garg&rsquo;s manager.
Talking about the second post-mortem examination of Garg conducted in Guwahati, the Special DGP said they are awaiting the final report, as the viscera samples have been sent to Delhi.
"We had sent the viscera samples to the Central Forensic Laboratory (CFL) in Delhi for a detailed examination. Once that report is received, the post-mortem report by the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital will be ready and available to us," he said.
Gupta is heading a nine-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the death of the singer in Singapore.
Asked about the investigation into an alleged financial scam involving Shyamkanu Mahanta, the senior police officer said: "Our probe is underway. We are analysing every detail, but I cannot share anything more." The CID had earlier initiated a separate probe against event manager Mahanta for alleged financial crimes and acquiring benami properties through money laundering.
The agency had seized incriminating documents and items from his home during raids on September 25-26, including multiple PAN cards in the name of the same firm, nearly 30 stamp seals of different companies and government officials, and documents related to several benami properties.
Mahanta is the younger brother of former DGP Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, who is presently the chief information commissioner of the Assam State Information Commission. Another brother of the festival organiser is Nani Gopal Mahanta, who was the education advisor to the CM before becoming the vice chancellor of Gauhati University.

Assam: Singer Zubeen Garg's last rites performed with full state honours

Popular singer Zubeen Garg was cremated with full state honours at Kamarkuchi near Guwahati, as thousands of mourners, family, and leaders paid their last respects.

Singer Zubeen Garg's body was cremated with full state honours in the sylvan surroundings of Kamarkuchi on the outskirts of Assam's Guwahati on Tuesday amid chanting of Vedic hymns as thousands of mourners gathered to bid farewell to the popular crooner.
His sister Palme Borthakur and music composer Rahul Gautam, a protege of the singer, lit the pyre, amid gun salutes.
They went around the pyre seven times as priests guided them, and all present at the site, most with moist eyes, stood up to pay their last respect to the singer who mesmerised people with his more than 38,000 songs over three decades.
Zubeen's wife, Garima Saikia Garg, was sitting on the side of the platform where his last rites were performed, and was seen sobbing all through the rituals as the singer's friend and Union Minister Pabitra Margherita consoled her.
Garg's 85-year-old ailing father, Mohini Mohan Borthakur, was sitting at a distance surrounded by family members.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, also a Zubeen fan, was seen standing near the platform where the pyre was lit.
As the smoke from the flames flared up, slogans like 'Zubeen, Zubeen' and 'Jai Zubeen da' reverberated in the air, and people were heard singing his song 'Mayabini Ratir buku'.
This continued all through the rituals held in an emotionally charged atmosphere.
After the tributes were paid to the popular singer, the Assam Police gave him the gun salute and sounded the bugle.
Earlier, the mortal remains of Garg were taken to a platform and placed on the pyre amid chanting of Vedic hymns and blowing of conch shells.
The family performed certain Vedic rituals while Union ministers Sarbananda Sonowal, Kiren Rijiju and the chief minister placed wood on the pyre.
A branch of the sandalwood tree, which Zubeen had planted on his birthday in 2017, was placed on the pyre.
Earlier, the popular singer's body was brought on Sunday and kept at Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex for fans to pay homage.
After being brought to Kamarkuchi, his body was placed on a podium, next to the platform where his last rites were performed.
The funeral pyre, constructed on the platform, was covered in a white canopy and decorated with flowers all around it.
A team of Assam Police personnel were the pallbearers of the casket carrying Zubeen's mortal remains.
A large number of people gathered around the cremation site since Monday night, and the entire area reverberated with slogans like 'Long Live Zubeen', 'Jai Zubeen da'.
People were heard humming his song 'Mayabini Ratir buku', which the singer had once said should be sung at his funeral.
Members of the family, including his wife Garima, paid tributes to the singer at the cremation site.
Sonowal, Rijiju and Margherita, along with Sarma, assembly speaker Biswajit Daimary and several cabinet ministers and senior government officials, laid floral wreaths on the singer's coffin.
Sonowal, Margherita, the chief minister and leader of the opposition Debabrata Saikia went down on their knees to pay tributes to the singer.
Representatives of the Arunachal Pradesh government, Assam Sahitya Sabha (ASS), various students' unions, Hatimura Karbi Samaj, Artists Forum, Zubeen Garg Fan Club and others also paid their last respects to Garg.
Meanwhile, the second post-mortem examination of Garg's body was conducted at the Gauhati Medical College Hospital on Tuesday morning.
The first autopsy was conducted in Singapore, where he died on September 19 while swimming in the sea.
Earlier in the day, Garg's body, placed inside the cold glass coffin, draped in the traditional Assamese 'gamosa', was taken in a flower-bedecked ambulance from the sports complex to the cremation site.
A huge black and white portrait of the singer was placed in front of the vehicle.
Zubeen's last journey passed through Sarusajai, Beltola, Khanapara and Jorabat to reach Kamarkuchi. The singer's family, close relatives and a few friends followed him in separate vehicles.

Remembering Zubeen Garg: The Iconic Voice of Assam

Zubeen Garg: Iconic Assamese Singer's Legacy

Zubeen Garg, who passed away at 52 in Singapore, leaves behind 38,000 songs across 40 languages, a legacy of rebellion, compassion, and unmatched artistry that made him an icon beyond music.

His music captured the hearts and imagination of millions without any doubt, 'Ya Ali' may have catapulted him to national fame, but there was much more to singer Zubeen Garg's larger-than-life persona that made lakhs mourn him since Friday when he died in Singapore.&nbsp;
His 38,000 songs in 40 languages and dialects, numerous films he acted in and directed, and stage shows may have mesmerised people across generations, but it was his irreverent outbursts, often replete with common slangs, that resonated more with people and made him an icon among generations, irrespective of language, religion, community, caste or creed.
Zubeen ranted against the hypocrisy of established institutions, called a spade a spade which often led to controversies, made politically incorrect but honest statements on issues of the day, extended a helping hand to the poor and the troubled, passionately loved nature and animals&mdash;all these and many more of his personality traits locked in his frail frame of steel inspired millions and made them his ardent fans.
His antics on stage, often in an inebriated state, irked many who expected a proper behaviour from a popular artiste and the elder generation, used to the lilting socially relevant music of Bhupen Hazarika and other music legends of Assam, was initially hesitant to accept his music, which created a fresh, new and path-breaking trend.
Zubeen, however, marched on undeterred, cocking a snook at his critics, and went on to create music with lyrics that embodied passion, romance, beauty, loss, desolation, hope and much more, converting critics to admirers.
He took on the might of the proscribed outfit, ULFA, when he defied their diktat of not singing Hindi songs during Bihu functions, took on the traditional institution of 'Sattras' saying that the head of these Vaishnav monasteries should not be called 'Prabhu Ishwar' (Gods) as they, too, are mere human beings, asked present Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to give him a copyright fee for imitating his style of dancing on stage during election campaigns, was at the forefront of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and there are many more from Zubeen's repertoire that endeared him to the masses.
There was a section that tried to give a political colour to his singing for BJP during the last elections but he shut them up by saying that he had also sung for Congress on many occasions and "I am non-political. I am a singer, will sing for anyone who pays me".
His well-wishers, on many occasions, requested him not to make controversial statements, but he said that he cannot stop himself from speaking what he feels, and his spontaneous- 'Ghenta, kakou khatir no koru' (Damn! I don&rsquo;t have to please anyone) struck a chord with the younger generation in search of an icon.
Zubeen's tender and emotional side came to the fore when he spoke about his deceased mother and younger sister, Jonki Borthakur, who died in a road accident while returning from a Bihu function, popular poet late Hiren Bhattacharya, his pet dogs and the many animals and birds he rescued, giving each a name with his surname attached to it.
It was these contradictions in him that led to the creation of music that touched the hearts of all, irrespective of social, economic, religious and political affiliations, with lakhs of people thronging the Arjun Bhogeswar Sports Complex here, where his body lay in state since Sunday after arriving from Singapore, where he died while swimming in the sea.
The 52-year old singer, music composer, film director and actor, named Jibon Borthakur by his family in his childhood, went on to become Zubeen Garg with his mother, inspired by the famed Zubin Mehta&rsquo;s music, calling him so but the Brahmin surname was discarded by the singer who claimed he was an atheist and believed in the "religion of humanity".
He began singing from the age of three and be it popular Assamese or western, folk or classical-based songs, Garg gave voice to varied genres of music and excelled in all, with most later year singers emulating his inimitable style. The Bollywood music industry beckoned him in the mid-1990s and belted out many popular numbers in films and albums alike but was soon disenchanted, returning to Assam to climb the height of popularity with his numerous songs.
He often said that he could have stayed on in Mumbai (he still has a house there) and made a lot of money, but he returned as he felt a responsibility towards his people.
Zubeen's ill-health, mostly due to an erratic lifestyle, was a matter of concern for many, and he was hospitalised several times during the last few years.
His fans and well-wishers often admonished him to take care of his health but he always came out of the hospital with a smile on his face, saying, "nothing will happen to me, I still have many dreams to fulfil".
Zubeen often talked about the many songs he was yet to sing and compose, the films he wanted to make, write his autobiography titled 'Eucalyptus', about the house he was building overlooking the mighty River Brahmaputra, the many more people he wanted to help as their happiness brought a smile to his lips and several other unrealised dreams which has been cut short by his death.&nbsp;
