    What's the story

    Hours after his conviction, a 26-year-old inmate in Delhi's Tihar Jail allegedly hanged himself inside the prison complex on Monday evening, reported the Hindustan Times.

    The deceased, identified as Jawed, was convicted by a Delhi court in a 2016 robbery case earlier in the day.

    Jawed reportedly hanged himself from a tap in the bathroom with the help of a cloth.

    More information

    Eight suicide cases were reported from Delhi jails in 2021

    Sanjay Baniwal, the director general (prisons), told the publication that Jawed was taken to the jail hospital, where he was declared "brought dead."

    A jail official added that Jawed's co-inmates said he was in "deep depression" after getting convicted.

    As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), eight suicide cases were reported from different Delhi jails in 2021, while 10 were reported in 2020.
