Reacting, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that he is proud of Singh.
The 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly raped in a Hathras village by four men on September 14.
After her condition deteriorated, she was referred to Delhi's Safdarjung hospital where she succumbed to injuries. Her family alleged that the local police forced them to conduct the last rites in the dead of the night.
Local police officers, however, had said the cremation was carried out "as per the wishes of the family".
The incident led to protests across the country with people from different sectors demanding justice for the victim.
