She wrote, “Shame on West Bengal. Kolkata 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 (sic).

Here is Nandita Puri’s statement:

KK passed away on June 1 in Kolkata his mortal remains were brought to Kolkata’s Rabindra Sadan. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee arrived to pay her last respects. The singer’s mortal remains were honoured with a gun salute. The post-mortem reports of the late singer are out and it rules out any cause of unnatural death.
