Rajesh Singh

Doctor Rajesh Singh was a researcher at the Torchwood Institute.

At the time of his death, Rajesh was at Torchwood 1, where he was assigned to research and monitor the Void Ship. He had undergone psychic training on entering Torchwood and saw through the psychic paper's illusions, foiling Rose's attempt to gather information.

Personality
Rajesh Singh was intelligent and generally pleasant and a very brave and selfless man. He was direct and task-oriented. He seemed more annoyed by Rose's infiltration than concerned, (TV: Army of Ghosts) 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 for the Daleks, who, according to Dalek Sec, needed "information about current Earth history" protecting Rose and Mickey from the Daleks. He did not know that to do so would lead to his death, as he tried to tell them he'll tell them things. Dalek Sec told him: "Speech is not necessary. We will extract brainwaves." Rajesh Singh knew what this meant — he would die. The vacuum from the Daleks' manipulator arms were so powerful that as well as sucking his brains out, they shrivelled his head and entire body. All that remained of his body was a burned-out husk which collapsed to the floor before the Daleks much to the dismay of Rose and Mickey who were horrified by his death. (TV: Doomsday)
