Undertrial prisoner dies by suicide in Bargarh jail

An undertrial prisoner, Giridhari Rohidas, died by suicide in Bargarh district jail by electrocution late Monday night. Jail authorities confirmed the 38-year-old used his teeth to tear a live wire after Diwali celebrations. Preliminary inquiry and CCTV footage indicate the act was motivated by distress over accusations under the POCSO Act and fear of social rejection.
