After returning to hotel, the singer complained of uneasiness following which he was rushed to a hospital, where the doctors declared him brought dead.

Police are examining the CCTV footage of the hotel and questioning the hotel staff and event organisers.

As per eyewitnesses and the organizers of the show, the deceased singer was showing symptoms of uneasiness during his performance. “He was constantly requesting to switch off the spotlights and at intervals he was going backstage to take rest. However, not even once he expressed his desire to quit the show in between,” said one of the organizers.
