Gp. Capt. Singh, who belongs to Bhopal, graduated from the National Defense Academy in 2003. He was commissioned as a fighter pilot in 2004 and mainly flew Jaguars and Tejas during his flying career. He was also an experimental test pilot. He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
In August, he was conferred Shaurya Chakra, India’s third-highest peacetime gallantry award, for exceptional gallantry as a Wing Commander in October 2020 when he was posted with a Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) squadron.
On October 12, 2020, he was flying a test sortie in the LCA when an emergency developed due to the failure of cockpit pressurization at high altitude.
“He displayed extraordinary courage and skill to safely land the fighter aircraft. The pilot went beyond the call of duty and landed the aircraft taking calculated risks. This allowed an accurate analysis of the fault on the indigenously designed fighter and further institution of preventive measures against recurrence,” the citation said.
