Ram Singh Died Due to Hanging: Initial Autopsy Report
Delhi gangrape accused Ram Singh died due to hanging, police sources said today quoting the initial post-mortem report.

The autopsy of Singh, who allegedly committed suicide in Tihar yesterday, was conducted at AIIMS today and the body was handed over to his family who said they will take the mortal remains to Karauli in Rajasthan.

The post-mortem started at around 11:15 and ended around 12:30 pm, sources said.

They said the initial report suggested that Singh (35) committed suicide. He died due to hanging, the sources said quoting the reportngh's brother, who came to AIIMS to receive the body, alleged that he was murdered and that he saw injury marks on his body and finger marks on his neck.

"My brother was murdered. I have seen injury marks on the body and finger marks on the throat," the brother, who did not wish to be identified, alleged.

Singh was found hanging in his cell in Tihar Jail at around 5:30 AM yesterday and the body was brought to AIIMS at around last evening after completion of various proceedings.

The post-mortem could not be conducted yesterday as Delhi Police could not submit the required papers to the hospital on time.

Sources said a panel of three doctors conducted the postmortem. AIIMS doctors will present the "sealed" postmortem report to Saket court, which is conducting trials on the Delhi gangrape case, through Delhi Police, they said.

Apparently suggesting that there was no foul play, they said initial report also suggests that there were no injuries on Singh which could have led to the death.

Singh's father Mange Ram had alleged there were injuries on his son's body.

A male death, particularly one who has been trialled and punished by the media for an anti-woman crime, will not be mourned, even if someone killed him!

Forebodings of a break down of law and order.

Idiots, even if he committed suicide, the question is : why did the authorities not enforce suicide watch - abetting his suicide?

Fair enough. Now tell us who hanged Ram Singh. He obviously didn't do it himself.

 Male Unblocked >>  The question is : how did he get there?

>> It was not possible for Ram Singh, handicapped on right hand, to weave a strong enough rope out of threads taken out of prisoner's blanket in roughly 2 hrs, since he and his 2 cell mates sharing a 15 ft by 10 ft wide cell, were last seen laughing and chatting until past 2 am after which they went to sleep,  and to have hanged himself from a 9 ft high grill, before 5:30 am, when his body was discovered by the guard.

He was strangulated to death by his cellmates, and then his body was was hung from the top of the grill.

The autopsy must be above suspicion. If any doubts are expressed, the matter should be re-d-ne by another inpartial body. 

Even the accused of rape has the right to fair trial and justice. Mere accusation by the rape victim's boy friend cannot be reason to murder him. Let law of the land applied to him.
