The Mumbai Crime Branch, investigating the alleged custodial death of Vijay Singh at Wadala TT police station, has submitted its preliminary report to the Human Rights Commission, which held its first hearing in the matter on Thursday. But the Crime Branch has said that as the report says the final cause of death was kept reserved in postmortems, the agency cannot conclude investigation on whether Singh was tortured. The Crime Branch is waiting for a report from the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) to ascertain the exact cause of death.

In the three-page report given to the Human Rights Commission, the Crime Branch has just shared details of the case. The agency has not come to any conclusion about the alleged custodial torture as the cause of death was reserved.
