Undertrial commits suicide in Kurukshetra jail
KURUKSHETRA: Hundreds of angry residents blocked the Kurukshetra-Yamunanagar highway after an undertrial committed suicide by hanging himself at a meditation centre of Kurukshetra jail on Tuesday morning.
Demanding action against the cops, they alleged that police had arrested Rajesh,
22, who committed suicide, without verifying the facts. The deceased, a
resident of Sonti village of Ladwa block of Kurukshetra, was facing
trial in a dowry death case of his wife. His father is also lodged in
the same jail but his mother is in Ambala jail on the same charge.
Rajesh's wife had died months back and a case of dowry harassment was
lodged against him and his parents. The deceased has left behind a
suicide note, but the jail authorities and district police did not
reveal its contents. While jail superintendent
S K Chauhan said he was not aware of the content of the note, SHO, city
police station, Malkeet Singh said, "A magistrate is looking into the
matter and the suicide note is in her custody. So we cannot say anything
about it." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Undertrial-commits-suicide-in-Kurukshetra-jail/articleshow/20191408.cms
