Arijit Singh was kidnapped by unknown individuals and subsequently killed in Kabul. Singh's body was discovered and buried by Kabul police in March 2019, despite his family having reported him missing. The family expressed upset that Singh was not returned to them for burial, stating that police should have recognized his Sikh identity from his turban. Police later arrested a husband and wife in connection with Singh's kidnapping and death. The incident occurred within a broader context of discrimination against the Sikh community, who frequently face targeting by police seeking bribes and report discrimination in court cases and educational facilities.
