Rajesh Singh

Doctor Rajesh Singh was a researcher at the Torchwood Institute.

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 saw through the psychic paper's illusions, foiling 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 volunteered himself as the "least valuable" person present. He did not know that to do so would lead to his death. The Cult's information probes were so powerful that they shrivelled his head and entire body, It is unknown whether he died from being smothered by the flexible rubber of the plungers or his brain being burnt alive by the brainwave drainage 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)
