New Delhi: Anant Singh,
an associate of Sadhvi Pragya Singh, a key suspect in the 2008
Malegaon bombing, took poison Wednesday alleging torture, police
and family sources said. He was rushed to a hospital where he
survived.
In what was to be a suicide note, Anant Singh alleged that he was
tortured Tuesday by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) when
he was questioned about his links with Pragya Singh, police
sources said.
Anant Singh was found unconscious at his flat in Jangpura in the
afternoon by his family. He was rushed to the All India Institute
of Medical Sciences where he got emergency medical care.
The suicide note recovered from him alleged that the NIA
"physically and mentally tortured him", the sources said. The NIA
has routinely denied similar charges.
Pragya Singh is said to be the brain behind the Sep 29, 2008 blast
in Malegaon in Maharashtra that killed eight people.
The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Mumbai Police has accused her of
forming a group to avenge the earlier Mumbai train bombings.
