B. P. Singh, the creator and producer-director behind the popular Indian crime series CID and horror series Aahat, dies at 77 after a heart attack. Reports say he passed away on Tuesday morning, with details of funeral arrangements expected to follow from his family.

Ashoke Pandit, a filmmaker who is cited across multiple outlets as sharing the news on social media, pays tribute to Singh’s work and recalls their association. The coverage highlights Singh’s long-running role in shaping Indian television entertainment, including his contributions through CID and Aahat. Several articles also mention that Singh’s last rites are scheduled for October 28.

While all sources focus on Singh’s death and his impact on the television industry, they differ slightly in emphasis. Some lead with his celebrity recognition and public familiarity, while others foreground Pandit’s personal tribute and background on their professional relationship through industry associations.
