Undertrial dies after jail attack in Yerwada
A 27-year-old man named Vishal Nagnath Kamble, who was in jail waiting for his trial, was attacked by two other inmates on December 15.
They hit him with a stone, and he got very hurt.
He was taken to the hospital, but he died the next day.
The two men who attacked him are also in jail for other crimes.
The police are trying to find out why they hurt Kamble.
This is not the first time something like this has happened in this jail.
There was another attack in September, and another fight last year.
The jail has many cameras to keep everyone safe, but bad things still happen sometimes.
Vishal Nagnath Kamble, 27, an undertrial inmate, was attacked by two fellow inmates in Yerwada Central Prison on December 15.
The attackers, Akash Satish Chandalia (30) and Deepak Sanjay Reddy (27), allegedly used a piece of stone to attack Kamble.
Kamble was taken to Sassoon General Hospital but succumbed to his injuries on December 16 around 1.15 pm.
Police have invoked BNS section 103 (murder) against the two accused and are investigating the motive behind the attack.
This incident follows previous violent occurrences in the same prison, including an attack in September 2023 and a scuffle in December 2022.
