A prisoner was killed and two others were injured in Hisar's Central Jail number 2 on Thursday in a clash among inmates, police said.
The victim was identified as 25-year-old Ravinder Singh who was serving a 15-year jail term in a drug case registered against him on March 3, 2016 in Fatehabad, they said.
He was the resident of village Sardarewala under Ratia police station of Fatehabad district.
The two injured inmates, Harjit, a resident of village Kundal and Tajender of Budhlada in Punjab, have been admitted to civil hospital here, police said.
