Singh died in an accident on Wednesday morning while returning from Lucknow,where he had gone with a Special Cell team for probe into the Delhi serial blasts case. Rajbir,who had been awarded with the President’s Police Medal in 2009,was killed after the vehicle carrying the team crashed into a tree in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur district.

Singh’s body was cremated in Phudkhurd village in Outer Delhi. Fellow policemen and senior officers were present at the funeral.
