Singer Ishmeet Singh Died Mysteriously In The Maldives

Ishmeet’s body was found in a swimming pool at a Maldives resort. His death was originally ruled death by drowning by doctors at the Dayanand Medical College and hospital. He was there for a promotional event for the company that gave him a record deal. However, his family believes he was murdered. The singer from Ludhiana was set to have a funeral in his home city after his death. His uncle Charan Kamal Singh came forward before the funeral to say that Ishmeet’s body had injury marks on it. He pledged that he would get to the root of what really happened to Ishmeet.

“His death is not an accident alone. It could be part of a conspiracy. We want the matter investigated thoroughly. We want a case registered,” his uncle said in an interview with Zee News.
