He performed in the iconic Nazrul Mancha auditorium till 8:30 pm. He suddenly fell ill and returned to his hotel. When his condition deteriorated, he was rushed to the CMRI hospital in Kolkata, where he was declared dead.

To organize an event at Nazrul Mancha, one has to take a “No objection Certificate” (NOC) from Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) and also have to pay Rs. 15,000 as the rent of the hall.

The crowd capacity of the hall is not more than 2,500 people. But as KK is one of the popular singers in Bollywood, the crowd was three times the hall capacity. All gates have been broken to allow people to enter.

According to the source, a clash took place at Nazrul munch yesterday when few people could not enter the auditorium for enjoying the show of KK. It is alleged that during the chaos the authority sprayed the fire extinguisher toward the crowd.

The question is arising about how the authority can spray fire extinguishers in a crowded auditorium without any proper reason.

Kolkata Police’s New Market Police Station registers unnatural death (UD) case in the sudden demise of singer KK. After the consent of the family and body identification process, an inquest and post-mortem will be done.

Arrangements are being made for postmortem at SSKM hospital.

The dead body will be handed over after the postmortem is done. The police probe is on. Investigators are waiting for the preliminary report of the postmortem.
