Answering to a question, Bachchan said he came to know about Dey's death through media.
"I came to know about it through media. I heard that he was murdered because he was working on something which upset few people. It is like someones doesn't like any of our performance and decides to kill us. It is not good," said Bachchan, who was here to promote his upcoming movie Aarakshan.
Dey was shot dead in suburban Powai on Saturday by unidentified assailants.
Amitabh, 68, said people must fight against violence.
