Dear Sir,
I want to bring in your kind attention towards the news published in Times of India on 7th July, 2014 regarding Masaurhi jail inmate found dead http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Masaurhi-jail-inmate-found-dead/articleshow/37923013.cms
PATNA: A 40-year-old inmate of Masaurhi subdivisional jail was found dead in his cell on Sunday morning. The wife of the diseased, Parvati Devi, and other relatives alleged that Purnadev Chaudhary succumbed to his injuries as he was brutally beaten by the police.
IG (prisons and correctional services) Prem Singh Meena said three doctors would do the postmortem at PMCH. "The postmortem has been videographed. The report is expected on Monday. Only then we can confirm the reason of the death," he said.
According to police sources, Purnadev of village Deoria under Bhagwanganj police station area in Patna district was arrested and sent to jail by Bhagwanganj police on July 2 for selling hooch. But his wife has complained to the prison department that he died because of police thrashing.

However, Purnadev had been in judicial custody since July 2. The jail doctor declared him medically fit on July 3 and July 4, the SSP said.
