Undertrial dies in Motihari hospital

Motihari (Bihar): A hospitalised undertrial
in judicial custody died of alleged cold attack at Sadar
hospital here today, police said.

divisional jail authorities about a week ago because of his
illness.

Angry relatives of Verma ransacked the hospital and
smashed furniture after his death this morning.

Verma of committing irregularities in clearance of old-age
pension.
