According to the jail authorities, Abbas was booked on the charge of peddling drugs at the Gujar Singh police station.

The prisoner was shifted to a medical facility inside the jail after he fell sick. He died there before he could be shifted to a government hospital.

The authorities said they brought the death of the inmate to the Shadman police’s notice.

The body was shifted to a morgue and the prisoner’s legal heirs were informed about his death.
