Flash Secret Files and Origins #2010
David Singh is a fictional character who appears in various DC Comics publications. He is Crime Lab Director for the Central City Police Department, who takes Barry Allen into his lab on Captain Frye's orders.
David Singh is the director of the crime lab at the Central City Police Department. When he took over, the lab began to emphasize 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. Then later Singh catches Barry looking though the Jason Hicks files, 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 give a damn about his job.
Singh is about to argue back but James Forrest calls him to his computer. Singh had Forrest check the Mirror Monarch's body for clues and Forrest found blood, that didn't 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.
Later Singh notices the Hicks files are missing and so is Barry. Unknown to Singh, Barry gave the file to Iris West-Allen and she did some research and learned that the real murderer was Rory Tork. Once Jason Hicks was freed Singh re-examined his job and realized he may have closed cases in haste. That's why his first order back in the office is to reopen all closed cases from the past six months.
David Singh has ordered reopening of every cases closed by his department over the last 6 months, and has ordered his team to work overtime, including Saturdays. He then puts Barry Allen on the possible death case of the Elongated Kid. Later when Patty Spivot returns to the Crime Lab to do Barry a favor, Singh gives her a hard time, but he's happy she is there to help. David Singh is the Crime Lab Director, for the Central City Police Department. He reports directly to Captain Frye, and is not pleased with having to take Barry Allen into his Lab on the Captain's orders.
