An undertrial prisoner identified as Pramod was allegedly murdered in a Delhi jail after a dispute connected with tobacco, according to preliminary information reported by NDTV. Fellow inmates Bhola and Mukesh are accused of carrying out the assault, though the supplied material gives no further case details.

An undertrial prisoner named Pramod was allegedly murdered inside a Delhi jail following a dispute connected with tobacco, according to preliminary information reported by NDTV. The initial account suggests that Pramod was allegedly selling tobacco inside the jail. The attack reportedly arose from a dispute linked to that activity.

Two fellow inmates, identified as Bhola and Mukesh, are accused of carrying out the assault. The supplied material does not state when the attack occurred, in which Delhi jail it took place or how Pramod died. It also does not provide details of any arrests, a formal police case, prison disciplinary action or an official response from jail authorities.

The allegations remain based on preliminary information in the available report. No statement from the accused, their representatives or the authorities was included. The case concerns an undertrial prisoner, meaning the material identifies Pramod as someone whose legal proceedings had not been completed.

It provides no information about the underlying case for which he was being held. Further details about the alleged tobacco sales, the sequence of events and any investigation were not supplied.
