His younger sister, Palmee Borthakur, also performed the last rites, supported by close friends Arun Garg and Rahul Gautam Sharma.<\/p>\n<p>In a moving moment, Garg\u2019s four pet dogs\u2014Diya, Rambo, Maya, and Iko\u2014were brought to the stadium to bid their final farewell, touching the hearts of those present.<\/p>\n<p>Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who had announced the allocation of 10 bighas of land in Kamarkuchi for the burial, shared an emotional tribute on social media: \u201cThe final goodbye to the legend, #BelovedZubeen.
