The death of a 53-year-old undertrial in a POCSO case lodged at Arthur Road jail has once again raised questions about inmates' security at the overcrowded prison. On Wednesday evening, JJ Hospital doctors declared the accused Suryakant Sarang 'brought dead' and an autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to the abdomen, indicating assault. The police had taken Suryakant Sarang to JJ Hospital with a fever. However, he was declared dead before admission. A doctor at the hospital said, "As the death was before admission, we had to treat it as a medico legal case and accordingly, the police were intimated and body sent for a postmortem."
