New Delhi: Days after Rajasthan farmer Gajendra Singh committed suicide at an Aam Aadmi Party rally, his autopsy report claims that he died due to hanging.
The Delhi Police received Gajendra's postmortem report on Tuesday evening. The report said that there were seven brushes on the body due to the fall. There were no fractures. His visera has been sent for further analysis.
Meanwhile, sources said that the investigators have found two witnesses who claim that Singh was instigated to climb the tree. Sources also added that police are still ascertaining the facts and verifying the eyewitness account and are also scanning television channel footage to corroborate the statements.
Sources indicated that initial probe hinted towards the death being an accident. But Singh's family alleged a conspiracy and blamed the AAP for the tragic incident. The Delhi Police has named AAP leaders in its FIR for abetting suicide.
In a tragic turn of events, Singh committed suicide on April 22 at AAP's anti-Land Bill rally in Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Singh climbed a neem tree near the AAP rally venue, tied a piece of cloth around his neck and the other was tied on a branch and then jumped. Even though AAP volunteers tried to stop the farmer from committing the act, brought him down from the tree and rushed him to a hospital but he could not be saved.
According to the FIR, AAP workers and supporters abetted the suicide of Singh. Investigators said their probe reveals that AAP workers stopped police from sending the victim to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital while insisting that he was a party member and should not be taken in police van which resulted in considerable delay.
