The singer's body, which was taken from the hospital to Ravindra Kalakshetra in the morning, didn't have any protection and was drenched in rain as the authorities failed to make proper arrangements. There was neither an umbrella nor a stretcher, said an eyewitness. After Dey's body was kept for a brief period at Ravindra Kalakshetra, it was cremated in Hebbal. Manna Dey, who hails from West Bengal, had made Bengaluru his home for years. Meanwhile, Dey's daughter Sumitha is said to be miffed with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Apparently, Banerjee didn't respond properly when Sumitha called her up to tell about her father's demise. Instead of offering condolences, Banerjee reportedly told her to bring the body to Bengal. Dey, who cast his musical spell for over five decades with all-time hits like 'ay mere pyara watan', 'laaga chunri me daag' and 'poocho na kaise', died at the age of 94 after prolonged illness. Dey, who was in and out of Narayana Hrudayalaya hospital in the last five months for respiratory and renal problems, died of cardiac arrest at 3:50 AM, hospital spokesman Vasuki said. His daughter Shumita Deb and his son-in-law Jnanranjan Deb were by his bedside when the end came, his family said. His wife Sulochana died in January last year. His second daughter lives in the US. The condition of Dey deteriorated since Wednesday afternoon. He had been discharged twice for a brief period in the last five months, Vasuki said. Along with Rafi, Mukesh, and Kishore Kumar, Dey was the last member of the famous quartet of singers who dominated the Hindi music industry from 1950s to 1970s.
