[1] Singh, with an 8.08 metres jump at the 10th Federation Cup Athletics Championships in New Delhi on 16 March 2004, bettered the 30-year record held by T. C.

[1] Singh was one among four Indians to go beyond the eight-metre mark; the others being T. C. Yohannan (in 1974), Sanjay Kumar Rai (in 2000).

[citation needed] Though Singh had passed the qualifying norm of 8.05 m for the 2004 Athens Olympics, he was left out because of unsatisfactory form and fitness.

[4] The night of 26 April 2021, Singh died in a road accident near Patti, Punjab.

He lost control over his vehicle on the Patti-Tarn Taran road near Mahi Resorts Kairon and it hit a roadside tree.
