Veteran television producer and director B P Singh, best known for creating popular shows CID and Aahat, passed away on October 27 at the age of 77 following a massive heart attack.

“He was an important person in our lives. He is the creator of CID. He always took the team along whenever he moved ahead. We are about team of 200 members who worked with him for over 21 years. He was like the big umbrella. He made actors feel safe. We only had to focus on acting because he was the director, writer, and cameraman. He always portrayed us in the [best of light]. He was family. We’ve spent our prime years with him, and we are known because of him and CID. We were lucky that B P Singh happened in our life,” shares Aditya Srivastava who played Abhijeet in CID.

Brijendra Pal Singh, referred to as B P Singh by the television industry, has died at the age of 75. He was known best for creating and directing one of the longest running TV shows in Indian history, CID.

He breathed his last on Tuesday morning. Speaking to HT City, Dayanand Shetty, who played the popular character of Daya in the crime investigation show, says, “B P Singh ji had no other life, other than making content. He was dedicated to his work, was very passionate about it. He was also one of the best cameramen we had. He had not been well for quite some time, and today morning he just did not wake up. It was age-related, he was not well.”

A recent video had also sparked concern some days ago, in which Singh appeared fragile, surrounded by some people from the cast of CID.

A student of FTII, Singh was also the creator of one of the best known horror shows in India, Aahat. CID came into existence in 1998, and ran for 20 years.
