In its report to the Union Home Ministry on the suicide of Gajendra Singh, the Delhi Police, Wednesday, blamed the Aam Aadmi Party and the crowd present at its Jantar Mantar rally for the farmer's death.

Zee News reports that as per the Delhi Police report, AAP leaders were making provocative speeches, and the crowd present at the rally venue instigated and provoked Gajendra to commit suicide.

The report also alleged that AAP did not heed to the police's request to change the rally's venue to Ram Lila Maidan.

The Delhi Police also alleged that the SDM of the New Delhi district, who was mandated by the Kejriwal government to conduct a probe, had asked the police not to conduct a post-mortem on the body of Gajendra.

The report was submitted amid reports that the Delhi Police is trying to piece together the last 24 hours of farmer Gajendra Singh's life by analysing his mobile phone data and questioning people to find out where he had visited and whom he had spoken to before his alleged suicide at Jantar Mantar.

One of the relatives of the deceased farmer, whose mobile phone number was found on Singh's call log, has told police that he was asked by him to switch on his TV as "something big was going to happen".

"The relative, who lives in Singh's native village in Dausa of Rajasthan, received a call from him at around 1 pm (on April 22). Singh had told him, 'TV kholo, dekho kuch bada hone wala hai' (switch on your TV, something big is going to happen)," said a senior police official associated with the probe.
