An undertrial inmate, Shailendra, lodged in Sultanpur district jail, reportedly died of a heart attack, according to jail officials, but his family alleges otherwise.

Jailer Omkar Pandey stated that Shailendra complained of chest pain and breathing issues early Saturday, received initial treatment, and was sent to the district hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Family members contest the official narrative, asserting Shailendra had no prior health issues and suspect he died within the jail. An investigation is underway with a postmortem pending to determine the cause of death.
