Taking to Facebook, she wrote: "Shame on West Bengal govt. Kolkata administration killed KK and the govt. is covering up with a state farewell for their faulty Nazrul Manch; with a crowd of 7k for a 2.5k capacity, failed air conditioning; the singer perspiring profusely complained 4 times to no avail."

"No paramedics. No first aid. Crucial moments lost. A CBI enquiry is a must and Bollywood should boycott performing in Bengal till then," she added.

She further mentioned that "I understand there has been a confusion, I did not mean to blame or demean West Bengal or Kolkata or the people of Kolkata or West Bengal. My intention was to blame the government and administration for their mismanagement, especially the organisers of the concert at Nazrul Manch."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress’ Rahul Gandhi besides celebrities like Akshay Kumar, Armaan Malik, and Rahul Vaidya, among others expressed their grief over the singer Krishnakumar Kunnath aka KK's death.

Rahul Vaidya wrote, “I hear singer KK just passed away. GOD, what is really happening!!?? I mean WHAT IS HAPPENING. One of the nicest humans kk sir was. Gone too soon at 53. Beyond shocked. RIP sir.”
