BANGALORE: A 26 year old undertrial, who was arrested on Saturday for allegedly beating up his estranged girlfriend's sister, was found dead inside the bathroom of Parappana Agrahara jail early on Sunday morning. Preliminary investigations revealed that Rajesh Mokani Bahadur, had committed suicide by tying one end of his shoelace into the metal grills of the bathroom and the other end to his neck. However, police are yet to confirm whether it is a suicide or not.
Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) southeast, TD Pawar, told TOI that they are waiting for the postmortem report. "Body has been sent to Victoria hospital for autopsy. The exact reason for death can be ascertained once the autopsy report comes," he said.
The incident came to light when a night patrolling police official came across the body around 4 am. Earlier on Saturday, Hennur police had arrested Rajesh, following a complaint made by his estranged girl friend Kavita Rai, alleging Rajesh of manhandling her elder sister Savita Rai.
Later, Hennur police had produced Rajesh before a judge during night and shifted him to Parappana Agrahara central prison. As Rajesh was brought late into the jail, officials had locked him in the admission room saying that he would be allocated a cell either on Sunday or Monday.
