Simran Singh, popular freelance radio jockey from J-K, dies by suicide in Gurugram

Sunil Kumar, SHO of Sadar police station, said the police were informed around 9.30 pm on Wednesday by Simran’s friend staying with her in the same house. “A police team reached the spot and found Simran’s room locked from inside. The team broke open the door of the room and found her hanging,” the SHO added.

Her family members, who reached Gurgaon after being informed about the incident, said she was upset for some time, Kumar said.

“She was taken to a private hospital and was declared dead on arrival. Prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide. Postmortem examination was conducted this morning…,” another officer said.

“No FIR has been registered and the family hasn’t claimed any foul play. No suicide note has been found,” the officer said, adding that the body had been handed over to the family.

The Instagram profile of Simran, who had 6,96,000 followers and was known as ‘Jammu Ki Dhadkan’, shows she last posted a reel on December 13. “Just a girl with endless giggles and her gown, taking over the beach,” she had written while posting a reel where she was twirling on the beach wearing a peach gown.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his father, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah, expressed grief at her passing away. “Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah extended their heartfelt condolences to Simran’s family, friends, and countless fans during this difficult time. They prayed for peace to the departed soul and strength to her loved ones to bear this unimaginable loss,” Jammu Kashmir National Conference said on its X handle.
