The cremation ceremony of singer Bappi Lahiri will take place on Thursday morning.
In a statement, the family members mentioned that the last rites will happen tomorrow as they are waiting for Bappi’s son Bappa Lahiri to return from Los Angeles.
“The cremation will take place on the arrival of Bappa from LA tomorrow mid-morning. We are seeking love and blessings for his soul,” the statement read.
