Rajvir Jawanda’s family members, friends, and relatives gathered at the village on Wednesday evening when the singer’s body was brought home.

His mother, Paramjit Kaur, popularly known in the village as the sarpanch, is inconsolable. Her grief is compounded by the earlier loss of her husband, Karam Singh, an Assistant Sub-Inspector in Punjab Police, who passed away a few years ago.

Rajvir is survived by his widowed mother, wife, and two children.
