Delhi police visits Gajendra's family over his suicide probe
New Delhi, Apr 24 (IBNS): A team of Delhi Police Crime Branch, probing the alleged suicide by Rajasthan farmer Gajendra Singh in the national capital during an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rally, visited his family in Dausa to take his writing samples, reports said.
The samples will reportedly be sent to forensic lab to match the handwriting of the suicide note to ascertain that it was written by the farmer himself.
Gajendra's family claims the note was not written by him and held the Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his death, a CNN-IBN report said.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Friday refused to submit documents for an inquiry ordered by the Aam Aadmi Party government into the farmer Gajendra Singh at a party rally on Wednesday.
Both the police and AAP accused each other of doing nothing to save Singh, who hanged himself in front of thousands of people.
The AAP ordered an inquiry by a district magistrate, while the home ministry has asked the police to investigate.
District magistrate Sanjay Kumar had asked the police to submit records of the police alert, the complaint and the medical report, among other things which police did not do.
The DM said he will file a criminal complaint against the police for "obstructing a government servant doing his duty."
The police have said in an FIR that AAP workers clapped and cheered when Gajendra was on the tree, and instigated him. They also say that AAP volunteers prevented police from saving the farmer.
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on the other hand said police were repeatedly asked to save the man.
Kejriwal, who continued his speech at the rally even after Gajendra Singh's socking death, on Friday apologised.
"I think I was wrong, I should not have spoken. I didn't think of it at that time. I apologise if I hurt anyone," he said.
