Indian national dies in Jashore jail
An Indian national fell sick and died in Jashore Central Jail yesterday.
The deceased, Shamim Samir, was son of Dhanendra Nath of Balrampur district in India's Uttar Pradesh.
Samir entered Bangladesh from India illegally through Rangamati border, Jashore Central Jail Jailor Tuhin Kanti said.
The chief judicial magistrate of Rangamati sentenced Samir to one-year imprisonment on March 8, 2019, the jailor said, adding that he was sent to Feni jail.
In March of 2020, Samir was shifted to Jashore Central Jail. Three letters were sent to the Indian government asking them to take Samir back after his sentence expired. But there was no response, Jailor Tuhin said. He fell sick when he went to take a bath yesterday morning and was rushed to Jashore General Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
