Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his condolences.

"Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of former Delhi MLA Sh Jarnail Singh ji. May God bless his soul. He will always be fondly remembered for his contributions to society," Kejriwal tweeted.

Singh, who was a member of the Aam Party Party (AAP), was an MLA representing the Rajouri Garden constituency from 2015-2017.

He was suspended from the party in 2020 for sharing a Facebook post which allegedly disrespected Hindu goddesses.
