Jail inmate commits suicide
Jind, September 3 This was followed by a large-scale demonstration by the kin of the deceased, who have alleged that Virender was hanged inside the prison, but his death was shown as case of suicide by the jail officials. The district administration has ordered a probe which would be conducted by the Sub-divisional Magistrate (SDM). Police sources said Virender was among three persons who were arrested on June 4, 2006, after a case of gang-rape was registered against them. The other accused were his cousins and they were booked under Sections 376-B of the IPC. The court in its judgement in February this year had sentenced Virender to 10 years imprisonment. However, at about 2.30 am, he hanged himself in the bathroom. He was lodged in barrack No. 1 in the jail. His body was discovered after about an hour by another inmate. The body has been sent for a postmortem. Meanwhile, his family members and residents of Kabarchha village staged a demonstration outside the jail and the residences of the officials of the local administration, including the SP. They alleged that Virender had been murdered on the directions of the girl’s kin. The authorities have assured them of a probe. The district police chief also assured of an enquiry after Virender’s family members along with other villagers met him. This is the second such death in the jail in the past few months.
