The tragedy has left the entire nation in a state of shock and grief. Ishmeet Singh, the young teenager from Ludhiana, who went on to become the ‘Voice of India’ (thus becoming the first Sikh to win a reality show), met with a tragedy at Maldives yesterday paying for it with his life. The 19-year old singer from Punjab arrived at Maldives on Tuesday July 29th morning to perform for a musical which was to be hosted on Friday.
Ishmeet along with his friends headed for a swim at the pool at Hotel Chaaya Island Dhonveli in North Male. He was in a shallow pool meant for children for sometime and then later jumped into the deep-end of the main swimming pool which turned out to be fatal for him. Ishmeet was rushed to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Ishmeet’s dad Gurpinder and his mom are completely devastated by his death. All Sikh schools in Delhi will remain closed today, the July 30th in the wake of the unfortunate incident; they want to pay tribute to the Singh, who was truly the King.
Our blog offers deepest condolescence to the grieving family of the young talented singer.
