Tragic Incident: Inmate's Death at Tihar Jail Hospital

An undertrial prisoner identified as Ramesh Karmakar was reportedly found dead at a Delhi prison hospital, having allegedly hanged himself from a window, authorities disclosed on Monday.

Preliminary investigations suggest suicide as the cause, prompting a magisterial inquiry and notifying the local police. The case raises concerns regarding inmate safety and mental health in prisons.
