The man charged with rape and murder will have an investigation now into his OWN death.

The body of Ram Singh, the Indian bus driver accused of masterminding a brutal gang rape and murder was brought to a New Delhi hospital for autopsy Monday, after he was found hanging in his prison cell.

India's interior ministry called the apparent suicide a major security lapse and ordered an investigation.

But the father of the 23-year old woman, who died from injuries suffered during the December assault, refused to be pulled into the controversy.

"What he did, how he did, we don't know anything about it, nor are we concerned about it. The administration and the jail authorities know best about it as to what happened and how it happened. We cannot do anything here," said the father of the student who died after being brutally gang raped.

In this Delhi slum where Singh lived, his parents insisted their son couldn't have killed himself. According to Kalyani Devi, Mother of Ram Singh, there was no reason for him to commit suicide because he had already confessed to the crime.

The trial of six other co-defendants continues, in a case that triggered mass protests across India.
