Fans Say That Negligence Of Authorities Led To His Death
Photographer Dibyodok Mitra from Kolkata wrote, “I have just heard there were around 3 times crowd present at Nazrul Manch when the hall capacity is just 2200. AC’s malfunction on hot and humid is always a disaster. I have seen performers singing at a stretch for 1 hour 30 mins.. The energy comes from the Euphoria but it heavily stresses the body.. A 53 years old man cannot tackle this situation at ease.. If you watch the video, he is sweating badly and complaining about the heat.. See destiny takes it course but…It is extremely sad that his health condition deteriorated in Nazrul Manch itself.”
The AC is the Nazrul Mancha stadium was not working. Due to authorities negligence, singer KK is not with us today. #RIPKK #Kolkata pic.twitter.com/T2DhGWUD0u
