Fictional character biography

David Singh is the director of the crime lab at the Central City Police Department. When he takes over, the lab begins to emphasize the quantity of cases solved over quality, which resulted in the alienation of some longtime scientists, such as Patty Spivot. Barry Allen is back working for the C.C.P.D. and Captain Fyre has put him under Singh's charge. On his first day back Singh give him the case of the murdered Mirror Monarch. Singh later catches Barry looking through the files of Jason Hicks, a case that had been closed and already went to trial. Barry explains that Jason's mother came to him for help and accuses Singh of pretending to care about his job. [1]

Singh is about to argue back but James Forrest calls him to his computer. Singh has Forrest check the Mirror Monarch's body for clues and Forrest finds blood that did not belong to the victim on his glove. The blood matches Barry Allen, but instead of accusing Barry, Singh yells at him for contaminating the crime scene. He then belittles Barry saying, if he wants to accuse people of being sloppy he should make sure his cases are clean first. [2]

Later Singh notices the Hicks files are missing and so is Barry. Unknown to Singh, Barry gave the file to Iris West, who does research and learns that the real murderer was Rory Tork. Once Jason Hicks is freed, Singh re-examines his job and realizes that he may have closed cases in haste. In response, he reopens all closed cases from the past six months.

After the DC event Flashpoint , the entire DC Universe was altered into a five-year timeline. Singh is depicted as homosexual and in a relationship with the Pied Piper. [3]
