Three days after a Delhi gang-rape accused was found hanging inside Tihar Jail here, a 30-year-old female prisoner committed suicide Thursday afternoon inside the prison.
“Reshma, who was undergoing trial in a kidnapping case, was found hanging Thursday afternoon inside jail number 6. Other inmates spotted her body,” said a jail official.
The body has been sent for post-mortem at Deen Dayal Upadhaya hospital and a magisterial inquiry has been ordered, the official said.
No suicide note has been found.
