Biography
At the time of his death, Rajesh was at Torchwood 1, where he was assigned to research and monitor the Void Ship. (DW: Army of Ghosts) It is unknown what, if any, other projects he worked on for Torchwood, except for understanding the physiology of the Dogon race. (WEB: torchwood.org.uk) at the time of his death in 2007. He had undergone psychic training upon entering Torchwood, and was able to see through the psychic paper's illusions, and thus foil Rose's attempt to gather information.

Singh was intelligent and, generally pleasant, although also fairly direct and task-oriented. He seemed more annoyed by Rose's infiltration than concerned, though when the Cult of Skaro emerged from the Void Ship, he realised the gravity of what Torchwood had been doing. He claimed personal responsibility for allowing it to happen, and even volunteered himself as the "least valuable" person present, though he did not know for certain that to do so would lead to his death. Their information probes were so powerful that it shrivelled his head and entire body, and it is unknown as to whether he died from being smothered by the flexible rubber of the plungers or he died as his head was burnt alive by the brainwave drainage process. After this process, all that remained of Singh's actual body was a burned-out husk which collapsed to the floor before the Daleks. (DW: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)
