Lucknow Ranjit Singh alias Guddu, the Delhi-based trader accused in the case of alleged fake encounter of Ravindra Tyagi of Ghaziabad, was found dead in a Lucknow hotel last evening. He was lined up to face Tyagi’s brothers before the CBI Thursday.

But he did not turn up at the CBI office and his mobile phone remained switched off through the day. Singh was a primary link in the case.

The CBI unit in Lucknow, which is investigating the case, had summoned Singh and recorded his statement on Wednesday.

The postmortem could not ascertain the cause of death and there were also no injury marks on the body, the police said.

Lucknow DIG D K Thakur said Singh, in a suicide note addressed to the CBI SP probing the case, has said the charges against him were not true and that he was not a criminal and did not help criminals. He also mentioned that he knew that “witnesses in the case will be tortured and if the SP saheb had some humanity he will not torture my family members”.

In his suicide note, Singh claimed that he merely handed over the keys of his car to Tyagi and was not accompanying him when he was killed. Tyagi’s wife Deepa had accused him falsely in the case while she knew his relations with Tyagi, the suicide note read.
