Keel M. Posted March 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) NEW DELHI -- The alleged ringleader in the gang-rape and death of a young Indian woman in December hanged himself in jail on Monday, officials said, a dramatic twist in a case that has provoked outrage across India.Ram Singh's lawyer said his client had been composed and calm when he spoke to him on Friday and that there were other inmates in his cell in New Delhi's Tihar jail, raising questions about whether it was a suicide and how it could have gone unnoticed by staff in India's highest security prison. The lawyer and a prison official said Singh had not been on suicide watch. Police have described Singh as the ringleader of five men and a juvenile on trial for the December 16 attack on the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist on a bus in the Indian capital. Singh was driving the bus. Full story Edited March 11, 2013 by Lady Kasey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted March 11, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Now if only the rest would follow. We can only hope. I told my friend here who is from India about his alleged suicide and she said he wasn't isolated from the general population, so he probably had help.

pallidin Posted March 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm glad the east Indian government has been recently taking these horrific gang rapes seriously. I suppose there has been considerable internal/external pressure to do so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
