Ram Singh was murdered, says his father

New Delhi: The family of Ram Singh, the main accused in the December 16 Delhi gangrape case who allegedly committed suicide in Tihar Jail, today claimed that he was murdered and demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
"He has not committed suicide. He has been murdered and then hanged. I am saying this on the basis of the fact that evidence has been erased. He could not move his hand as it was fractured," his father claimed.
He said there should be a CBI inquiry into the incident. "I am also demanding that the post mortem be held in front of me," he said.
Asked whether there was any threat to his life, the father said Singh was beaten up inside jail. He said his son had already admitted that he had committed a crime and that he himself had said that he should be punished.
Surprised by Ram Singh's alleged suicide: Rape victim's family
The family of the December 16 gangrape victim today said they were "surprised but not saddened" by the main accused in the case allegedly committing suicide and are waiting for the four others to be sent to the gallows.
The brother of the victim said the family wanted the trial to be completed at the earliest. "We are surprised at the suicide but we are not sad. He would have been hanged even otherwise. We wanted him to be hanged publicly. Now we are waiting for the four others to be sent to gallows," he said.
The brother did not suspect any foul play and said guilt might have caught on to him. He said Singh knew that there was strong evidence against him and that he was going to get death penalty.
Ram Singh and the four other accused in the case were being tried by a fast-track court here. Besides them, a sixth accused, who has been declared a juvenile, is facing proceedings before the Juvenile Justice Board.
