Gajendra's suicide : Police face criminal complaints
Both the police and AAP accuse each other of doing nothing to save Singh, who hanged himself in front of thousands of people.
AAP ordered an inquiry by a district magistrate, while the home ministry has asked the police to investigate.
District magistrate Sanjay Kumar had asked the police to submit records of the police alert, the complaint and the medical report, among other things which police did not do.
the DM said he will file a criminal complaint against the police for "obstructing a government servant doing his duty."
The police have said in an FIR that AAP workers clapped and cheered when Gajendra was on the tree, and instigated him. They also say that AAP volunteers prevented police from saving the farmer.
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on the other hand said police were repeatedly asked to save the man.
Kejriwal, who continued his speech at the rally even after Gajendra Singh's socking death, on Friday apologised.
"I think I was wrong, I should not have spoken. I didn't think of it at that time. I apologise if I hurt anyone," he said.
