New Delhi: A 20-year-old inmate lodged in the Tihar jail here died following a scuffle with another prisoner inside a barrack, officials said on Wednesday.
Samir Khan, a resident of Bhalaswa Dairy, was lodged in Tihar’s central jail number 5 in a robbery case, they added.
According to the jail officials, the incident took place at around 9 am on Monday.
