Just how could it be possible this should be investigated. I give simpathy to all of Ishmeeths family, friends and fans i am really sorry and would of hope to ishmeeth that he could of gone really far in life but i guess this is where it ends.

BTW, did someone notice this…
There is no coverage of this in newspapers even though the news was being telecast on TV….I have gone through Times of India and DNA and there was no mention at all about his death :((
…and it was not that late that the newspapers didn’t get time to add this news item in their columns.
Poor journalism.
We are deeply shocked….. why do bad things happen to good people?
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, May his soul rest in peace.
Its really shocking to know a very nice singer and a humble human being has choosen his way to god. I really admired every song he sang in Star Voice of India and Jo jeeths who hi super star. He had such cute dimples which added more charm to his face when he sand or spoke. Its was Gods Choice that he needs to be official Tansen in Heaven. His soul will definatly rest in peace as many people are praying for him. Good people live less, so does ISmeet. I dont know what to say, just a whole heartded bye to this wonderful singer.
May your soul rest in peace Ishmeet, we are so shocked, upset at this trajic accident, love always to you and your parents from England UK x you will live in our hearts forever

We are all Praying for your family.. and We need to know what really happend.. Why was he swimming in a pool if he could not swim!?? RIP xxx
Ishmeet’s untimely death is very shocking and sad news for all noble hearts. “I have some big projects lined up. And I am happy that God has put me on right path. Soon I will take a big leap and go high.” Said Ishmeet Singh talking to TOI at Chandigarh never knew that what is big leap and high in store for him? Here we are helpless and have to surrender to HIS wishes as who can chant (God’s) knowledge whose study is arduous. The demand of an inquiry into the drowning accident as to know what were the circumstances leading to his death took place so suddenly and carelessly is genuine at least in order to take preventive measures for the future blossoming stars of any field like him. Such an inquiry is a need of hour along with praying that God bless his soul. A few words expressed for the gem on his very sorrowful untimely death especially for the consolation of his parents and other family members by Balbir Singh Sooch, his family and friends.
i am a maldivian. i am big fan of ishmeet . its unbeliavable i am in a shock. whether it is a plan or natural god do things for a better. ishmeet(pbuh) i hop v could meet somtime in heaven . peace be upon him .

I am vry sad to hear this, as he is quite young boy, and quite talented one, my condolence to his family, may he rest in peace
#1. I can tell you with 100% confidence that people can end up with water in their lungs after drowning. People do not end up with injuries or invasive wounds on their heads. Ishmeet was wounded on his forehead severely when his body was recovered.
#2. This resort is supposed to have Life guards present for protection of their guests at pool side at all times. There was no one around to help Ishmeet. NO ONE. EVERYONE DECIDED TO TAKE LUNCH AT THE SAME TIME????
#3. A person who is not confortable swimming will NEVER attempt swimming alone. Ishmeet was a quiet calm person, not exactly rebellious, daredevil type, who will engage in some stupid stunt for attention. He was too mellow to attempt this.
#4. Ishmeet was swimming with his freinds. How come no one attempted to save him? Question is: WERE THEY REALLY FREINDS?
#5. Ishmeet had been attacked 2 weeks before this incidence, while in a car. His car was repeatedly hit by another car- demonstrating a wreckless attempt by someone to harm Ishmeet.
#6. Ishmeet was NOT your average human being. He touched hearts of BILLIONS everywhere. he made BILLIONs smile. People liked him as a COMPLETE yet SIMPLE person NOT just his singing.
#7. Lastly, we cannot keep living in this depressing pseudo-democracy where such injustice goes unnoticed. It’s not just about Ishmeet; it’s about the sick system we live in.
tIshmeet parmatma thodi ruhh nu sani bkhse . vishvas hee nahi ho reha ki Ishmeet sede vich nahi hai.
I just read about this and I am shaking from the news….. He was only a 19 year old boy… omg it is sooo sad …. may he rest in peace! and his family given the strength to go on with this pain..
May your soul rest in peace Ismeet
i still couldn’t believe that ishmeet is no more…. i know how painful it is to loose someone close to one’s heart…may ur soul rest in peace. the whole bangladesh is in deep shock..in every school, in every colleges, in universities everybody is talking about this.. still we couldn’t believe…our deepest condolense to ishmeet’s parents…love u ishmeet.
Where were Ishmeet’s friends at the funeral?’ The destructive jealousy factor might be one of the reasons of the planned and created circumstances leading to the death of Ishmeet Singh can not be ruled out so lightly. We should not forget that an innocent child could be used in such planned and created circumstances, knowing very well that so and so would surely behave in the fashion under the circumstances which are always meant for his death and so on under the different similar cases of conspiracy. Moreover, the colleagues of Ishmeet in the interview on the day were looking suspicious and tutored judging by their body language, face culture and they only said in the interview whatever they might be tutored to say legally. Mika rightly said, “Only Abhijeet dada and Hans Raj Hans were present at the funeral. Where were Ishmeet’s friends and colleagues from various shows? Was the absence of friends and colleagues only to avoid the exposure of as to what extent the destructive jealousy factor obviously running against Ishmeet Singh for causing his death used for interview in the manner as a cover up or only their absence for the security reasons would be the pet reply suiting under the circumstances? Mika’s query is not without substance as he understands fully the dangerous aspect of destructive jealousy factor in music industry as well. The independent high level inquiry would be the only answer to set all speculations in right perspective at least in order to take preventive measures for the safety of the future blossoming stars of any field like him.
