Melbourne: Wife of Jaspreet Singh, the
Indian who was allegedly set ablaze here by a group of four
men last week, has questioned reports that claim his injuries
could be self-inflicted.
"Why would he burn himself? Why would he do that?"
Paramjeet Kaur said while reacting to media reports doubting
Singh`s injuries to be self-inflicted.
"I do not know why they are saying that," she said
Jaspreet Singh, suffered 15 per cent burn injuries during
the attack in Essendon on Friday night. He is stable but
unable to speak, Kaur told `The Age`.
Meanwhile, Police are waiting to question Singh again.
Some of Singh`s clothing have been recovered but other
items remain outstanding, the police spokeswoman said.
Victoria Police said on Saturday the incident did not
appear to be race-related. A police source said "there are
things that don`t add up" in the initial reports.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said that all possibilities
would be investigated.
It is believed the arson squad has been called in.
