Singer KK fell ill while performing at Nazrul Mancha for Gurudas College’s fest in Kolkata and was taken to the CMRI hospital, where he was declared dead.
Backing the Kolkata police amid claims of crowd chaos at KK's concert, actor-turned-TMC MP Deepak Adhikari said that it is "out of love for the artiste" that people come to attend their programme in large numbers. "If the police has to count the number of attendees every time, they will have to stop all rallies too, and not just the musical soirees," he added.
West Bengal BJP MP Saumitra Khan wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday questioning the presence of TMC leaders in the hospital where singer KK was admitted.
Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu, Union Ministers Amit Shah, Anurag Thakur and several other leaders from the political fraternity also expressed their grief over KK's death
