Constable Subhash Tomar, who had suffered serious injuries when a protest against the gang-rape of a young medical student turned violent at India Gate on Sunday, died this morning. Mr Tomar, 45, had also suffered a heart attack after being injured on Sunday. His son had told NDTV yesterday that when he saw television reports of the violence at India Gate, he phoned his father on his cellphone. But someone else answered and said Mr Tomar had fallen to the ground  and was being moved to hospital. At India Gate on Sunday, thousands of protesters defied police orders and gathered there to demand stricter laws against rape and more safety for women in the capital. The police used tear-gas and water-cannons repeatedly, partly because some miscreants in the crowd set a car and wooden benches on fire. Amanat (Not her real name) was gang-raped in a moving bus in the heart of Delhi on December 16. Source: NDTV
