A shocking incident has been reported from Dhanbad District Jail where a rape accused, identified as Jitendra (28), allegedly attempted suicide late Monday night.
According to jail officials, Jitendra used a hidden blade to slit his wrist inside the barracks. Fellow inmates noticed him bleeding and immediately alerted the authorities. He was rushed to SNMMCH Hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
What makes the case even more mysterious is the discovery of a message written on his hand. Though the content of the note has not been officially disclosed, sources suggest it reflects his mental stress and despair.
The incident has raised serious concerns over jail security—particularly how the accused managed to obtain a sharp object inside the high-security premises. The Jail Superintendent has ordered an inquiry into the matter, assuring strict action if negligence is found.
Family members revealed that Jitendra had been under severe mental pressure for the past few days. Meanwhile, opposition leaders and social activists have demanded a transparent investigation, calling it a glaring example of mismanagement in the prison system.
Hospital sources confirm that Jitendra’s condition is stable, but the incident has once again highlighted the urgent need to tighten security measures in Dhanbad jail.
