Subsequently, they were transported to Titlagarh in Balangir district, his native village, for the final rites. The burial was marked by an emotional farewell attended by numerous prominent Ollywood personalities, as fans and the community paid their last respects.
Allegations of Foul Play Emerge
The circumstances surrounding Sagar’s death have now taken a controversial turn. The singer’s mother and aunt have alleged that his manager, Prashant, along with two associates, murdered him.
