(03-11 10:17)
The main accused in the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl on a bus in New Delhi in India last December has committed suicide, a jail official said. Media reports said he hanged himself.
He was the driver of the bus. The raped girl, ho suffered severe internal injuries, died in a Singapore hospital.
“Yes, he is dead,'' the official said in the control room of New Delhi's Tihar Jail when asked about Ram Singh, the man accused of leading the gang-rape which ignited street protests and a round of soul-searching about the abuse of women in male-dominated India.
He was one of six accused in the savage attack on December 16 in the capital, also called the rape capital of India.
Many more reports of gang rape have been reported since, the latest being the rape of a 7-year-old child.
