Convict dies in UP jail
Jail sources said that Babbal Yadav (33), who was convicted in a 302 case, complained of severe chest pain late in the night and before the doctor could arrive he died .
As soon as the other inmates got the news of the death they lodged a strong protest and raised slogans. They also stopped the staff from taking away the body.
Senior officials soon rushed to the jail premises, calmed the prisoners and brought the situation under control, the sources said.
District magistrate Govind Raju has ordered a judicial and magisterial enquiry in this connection. A team of three doctors has also been asked to conduct the post mortem examination.
Jail superintendent Izhar Ahmed, however, said that Yadav died following a heart attack. PTI CORR SAB PG ESB
