Amritsar, Aug 10: "Voice of India" singing contest winner Ishmeet Singh`s family Sunday said it was not satisfied with the forensic report that said the 19-year-old budding singer died of drowning, and sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into his death.

The singer mysteriously drowned in the swimming pool of a beach resort in the Maldives July 29 after he arrived there for an event. He had won the "Voice of India" contest November last year.

Ishmeet`s father Gurpinder Singh and uncle Charan Kamal Singh, who arrived here Sunday to pay obeisance at the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), said only a thorough probe would establish whether or not there was any foul play in his death.

"Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has assured us that a probe would be conducted into Ishmeet`s death," the singer`s uncle said here.

A forensic report from a government laboratory in Patiala town in Punjab last week said Ishmeet died due to drowning. The preliminary post-mortem examination report of the singer attributed his death to drowning.

But the family alleged that Ishmeet`s death could be a conspiracy as his head and chest bore injury marks.
