In a statement, the IWPC said that Singh who was in his 60s was a former news editor associated with the Indian Express, Times of India and The Tribune for several years. He was, as colleagues have described him, a "thorough professional and an exceptionally decent man".
"We urge the government of Punjab which has set up an SIT to apprehend the culprits at the earliest. We also urge that the state government take special policing measures for the safety of senior citizens, women and children.
"The IWPC joins in with the media fraternity of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh in condemning this most heinous murder," said the statement.
