One of six people accused of the gang rape and murder of a student in the Indian capital Delhi has been found hanged in his jail cell, police have said. Ram Singh was driving the bus on which the attack happened. He had denied the charges.
Ram Singh was to appear before a fast track court on Monday in Saket, south Delhi, which is hearing the gang rape case.
Jail officials said that Singh, 33, was to be woken up by 5.30am to be taken to Saket Court.
The guard spotted him this morning.
All the five accused lodged in Delhi’s high-security Tihar Prison had been moved to isolated cells after being subjected to taunting and ill-treatment by other inmates of the jail.
The accused had also said they had been threatened by other convicts.
