West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, 'Gun salute will not be given at the airport, it will be given at Rabindra Sadan. We have consulted with the family; they have a 5.15 pm flight, so we will pay respects there (at Rabindra Sadan).'
'It is saddening that a young man passed away. He was such a good singer.'
