Ishmeet’s father Gurpinder Singh and his uncle Charan Kamal Singh met the Prime Minister in Delhi.

The Prime Minister, though assuring to look into their demand, told them that there were procedures and laws to be followed as the case involved another country.

Ishmeet’s uncle insisted that the circumstances under which the upcoming singer died warranted a CBI probe.

A deep cut on the left side of the forehead and a blood clot on the temple of Ishmeet remain unexplained, he said.
