    Death in jail is wrong but the true facts of this death will be only known after proper investigation.

    Young energetic boy. How he died of short time sickness. He is just 24.

    May be poor family boy. Family members also may not come forward to question.

    Life gone. Will not come back.

    in western countries, questioning of accused is done in the presence of a lawyer and on recording. We are still living in stone age.

    SBM, Mangalore, There is no doubt about it. Poor prisoners who have no support die a hard way.

    It is said that he was sick before he was sent to prison. If he was sick, he should have been taken to hospital, before placing him in jail. My relative in Mumbai Police told me once, that they have specialists among them who are beating the accused in such a way, even postmortem can not find out the reason for the death.
