Punjabi singer and lyricist Baljeet (Baljit) Singh is found dead at his home in the Ludhiana area, according to multiple reports. Relatives discover his body after he has been missing for several days. Police say they launch an investigation after noticing a disturbing smell at the residence and find the singer’s body on the bed.
Outlets differ on some details of the circumstances. One report describes noticeable blood at the scene and notes that Singh had been out of contact with family for days. Another report says forensic teams and a dog squad are used to examine the location, and that a postmortem later indicates death by heart attack. That report also adds context that Singh lived alone and had a past drug-related case. Both accounts characterize the death as sudden and under investigation.
The discovery comes shortly after the reported killing of another regional music artist, Ankit Balyan, which some coverage references as part of a wider concern about safety in the local music community.
