A Khandwa prisoner, recently sentenced to double life imprisonment for raping his minor daughter, purportedly committed suicide by hanging.

MP News: A prisoner serving a sentence in Khandwa District Jail in Madhya Pradesh was found dead in his cell on Tuesday. The convict was serving a double life sentence for raping his seven-year-old minor daughter.

The punishment was awarded just two days ago by the Khandwa District Court. The accused had been in jail for the past four years.

He purportedly hanged himself using a noose made from his pyjama cords behind his barrack and hanged himself. The jail administration sent the body of the prisoner to the district hospital for post-mortem. A magistrate reached the jail premises to investigate the incident, reported ABP News.

Minor Dies During Trial

Jail Superintendent Aditi Chaturvedi said that the prisoner who committed suicide had been in jail since 2021. Two days ago, the court found him guilty of raping his own minor daughter and sentenced him to double life imprisonment.
