Singh, who is in Australia on his wife's student visa, told police that he was doused with petrol and set alight as he parked his car near his home early on 8th of last month. However, Detective Senior Constable Danielle O'Keefe of the arson and explosives squad told the hearing that Singh suffered the burns while trying to torch his 2003 Ford Futura.She further informed the hearing that arson chemists and hospital staff had concluded the damage to the car, Singh's clothes and his injuries were not consistent with his story.
