DHARAN, August 28: A prisoner charged with incest has committed suicide by hanging himself in the prison bathroom.
The deceased has been identified as thirty-three-year-old Shridhan Bishwakarma. CCTV footage showed him going inside the bathroom but he did not emerge out of the bathroom. His body was found hanging by a red shirt which he had tied on the ventilation bars.
