Jowai, Nov 29: The death of an Under Trial Prisoner (UTP) at the District Jail and Correctional Home in Jowai has raised serious concerns, with the family of the deceased demanding for an inquiry into the matter.

The prisoner, identified as Tenmiki Siangshai from Wapungskur in East Jaiñtia Hills, passed away on Thursday afternoon under circumstances that remain unclear.

According to reports, Siangshai was brought to Jowai Civil Hospital in Ialong, where he was declared “brought dead”. Jail authorities informed his family of the incident on November 28 at approximately 4:38 PM.
