NEW DELHI: Delhi gang-rape prime accused Ram Singh on Monday committed suicide by hanging himself in Tihar Jail. The incident came to light around 5am. Ram Singh was found hanging inside jail number 3. He was rushed to the jail hospital but declared dead on arrival. The body was then sent for postmortem at Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) hospital. Ram Singh was to be produced in Saket court today. The gang-rape accused were woken up by 5-5.30am everyday and taken to Saket court on their hearing date in a bus and were kept in a lockup there. The incident came to fore when the guard spotted him this morning. He was apparently disturbed by the recent hanging of Afzal Guru, a source said. A metropolitan magistrate will inquire into the incident, the source added. However, the incident has raised several questions on the safety of inmates inside the high-security jail. The manner in which the incident has unfolded has brought forward conspiracy theories. It was unlikely for the gang-rape accused to succeed in his suicide bid using his clothes and without any intervention. Ram Singh, one of the six accused in the Delhi gang-rape case, was the driver of the bus in which the 23-year-old paramedical student was raped. The victim died in a Singapore hospital December 29. Ram Singh was arrested along with his brother and four others, including a minor, hours after the crime. He and his co-accused have also faced fellow inmates' ire after being lodged into Tihar Central Jail. Ram Singh's brother Mukesh has been informed about the incident. Tihar Jail authorities had earlier said that all the five accused in the case were under 'suicide watch' as they had stopped talking and interacting amongst themselves. Ram Singh's counsel had filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking the case to be shifted out side Delhi as his client is apprehensive about a fair trial. "He knew he was going to die anyway because we had and still have such a strong case against him," the victim's 20-year-old brother said. "I'm not very thrilled with the news that he killed himself because I wanted him to be hanged ... publicly. Him dying on his own terms seems unfair. But, oh well, one is down. Hopefully the rest will wait for their death sentence,"he added. The trial of the five adult men began in a special fast-track court last month while the juvenile's trial began last week. Ram Singh's brother Mukesh Singh, gym assistant Vinay Sharma, bus cleaner Akshay Kumar Singh and fruit vendor Pawan Kumar are the other men on trial. Police allege the six attacked the woman and her male companion on the bus as the couple returned home after watching a movie on December 16. The woman was repeatedly raped and tortured with a metal bar. The couple were also severely beaten before being thrown onto a road. Singh was a bus driver, despite an accident in 2009 that fractured his right arm so badly that doctors had to insert a rod to support it. He appeared on a reality television show in a compensation dispute with a bus owner, who in turn accused Singh of "drunken, negligent and rash driving". In the show, the moustachioed, slightly-built man was seen walking stiffly and holding his right arm at an awkward angle. Singh's neighbours in the south Delhi slum where he lived described him as a heavy drinker with a temper. One young woman said he used to get embroiled in violent rows and a relative recalled a physical altercation with her husband. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Delhi-rape-case-Main-accused-Ram-Singh-commits-suicide-in-Tihar-Jail/articleshow/18902304.cms

Mixed feelings; like the victim's brother said better to see justice being served and an example being set but it is what it is and knowing justice system could have dragged on forever

Consider this: the information leading to their arrests was found in delhi police's ledgers. So may be couple of these men (or may be just Ram Singh) knew some of DP's dirty little secrets (were probably in business together). Naturally, they (he) will be "suicided".

Jab Police custody main kisi aaropi ki puchtach/ interrogation ( Torture ) ke dauraan maut ho jaye to usay baad main aatamhatya ghosit kar diya jata hai.
He was not some ISI agent from whom Police want to extract information.It was open and shut case.Don't think Delhi police is stupid enough to torture a culprit of such high profile case to whom the entire world is watching

I think recovering the names (or information) of the culprits in that "ledger" is a story that has been buried by the paid media. If they dug deeper, the truth would have been revealed that the problem is/was/always will be the police.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/No-fear-of-law-Ram-Singh-revelled-in-bullying/articleshow/18917010.cms No fear of law, Ram Singh revelled in bullying NEW DELHI: His friends called him "Mental". And he proved them right with his volatility. Ram Singh, 33, was handicapped, but sinister. Singh led a reckless life and had no fear of the law. He forcibly married Rekha, a woman from the neighbourhood, beat up people on the streets and was menacing. When he dragged Rekha into marrying him, neighbours kept mum out of fear. Singh and Rekha adopted their brother's son. Within a year, Rekha died mysteriously. He became even more violent after Rekha's death. He began drinking, picked fights and was seldom normal. "Throughout his interrogation, he showed no remorse, his voice remained frosty, emotionless as he narrated his gory deeds. It was so brutal that the policeman jotting down his interrogation report could barely write. His hands shivered," a police source said. Personnel from the Vasant Vihar police station who interacted with him said he probably had an inferiority complex because of his deformity and poverty. "He was the litigant sort. He intimidated people. But, if he came across someone stronger, he lodged FIRs and tried to counter an opponent," an officer from RK Puram police station, where he lodged a complaint years back said. Singh, despite his handicap, found a bus driver's job and ferried children of a well-known Saket school. It was on this bus that he and his partners gang-raped Nirbhaya. On Sunday evening, Ram Singh's neighbours at Ravidas Camp recall seeing his father Mange Ram enter his dwelling. He left in an hour. They saw him again on Monday morning. He was in tears. He had got to know of his son's death was rushing to Tihar. As news of the suicide spread, relatives of the other accused feared for their kin. Families of Vinay sharma and Pawan Gupta were apprehensive. Vinay's mother said she was very scared. Pawan's father merely said the law would decide his son's fate. TOI has accessed Ram Singh's confession where he gives recalls the December-16 brutality. He says he and his friends reached Sabji Mandi, RK Puram, bus stand at 8.40pm and began to solicit passengers. Three approached the bus. One got in. That man, Ramadhar Singh, was thrashed, robbed and dumped. They headed for Munirka where they though "they could get a woman for sex". Nirbhaya and her friend boarded the bus and sat behind the cabin. "Akshay took the fare from them. The bus (DL 1 PC 0149) crossed 'Malai mandir' when I asked Mukesh to switch off the lights. I asked the boy why he was roaming around with the girl at this time of night. He began arguing and I slapped him. He pushed me but Vinay and Pawan held him. "We couldn't tame them. They were screaming. I began hitting the boy with a rod. He fell. We took the girl to the rear seat where we took turns to rape her... When Mukesh raped her, Akshay drove. "We striped them... and threw them off the bus and tried to mow them down," Ram Singh narrated.
This guy was Psycho and after the incident one of the measure to prevent these type of crimes is that psychoes should be given treatment or locked up in asylum.Unfortunately not even a single person has raised this demand because they all were busy in promoting in their agenda
