Probe into Delhi rape suspect's death blames jail

A probe into the death of a man suspected of gang-raping a student on a New Delhi bus last December blames jail officials for failing to monitor him adequately, an Indian media report said on Sunday.

Hospital staff and family members of the man accused in the New Delhi gang-rape case, 34-year-old Ram Singh, move his body into an ambulance car at a hospital in New Delhi, on March 12, 2013. A probe into the death of Singh, suspected of gang-raping a student on a New Delhi bus last December, blames jail officials for failing to monitor him adequately, according to an Indian media report.

Ram Singh, one of six men on trial over the deadly assault which sparked mass protests across India, was found dead in his cell in the high-security Tihar Jail on Monday morning where he had been held since his arrest after the crime.
