He, along with every member of Torchwood, had undergone and passed psychic training. He wasn't affected by the psychic paper's low-level telepathic field, foiling Rose Tyler's attempt to gather information. (TV: Army of Ghosts) When the Cult of Skaro emerged from the Void Ship, he claimed personal responsibility for allowing it to happen and volunteered himself as the least important person present. Dalek Sec ordered him to kneel and requested information about current Earth history. Singh responded saying that he would comply but not compromise Homeland Security. Sec interrupted, revealing that speech was not required; instead, they extracted his brainwaves by placing their manipulator arms around his head. Singh screamed in agony. As the Daleks let go of Singh, his desiccated corpse fell down to the floor before them, much to Mickey and Rose's dismay. (TV: Doomsday)
