A 48-year-old prisoner allegedly committed suicide at the central jail in Madhya Pradesh's Indore on Saturday, police said. The prisoner slits his throat with a wood-cutting machine.  

The incident took place in the carpentry section of the prison. The prisoner who committed suicide is named Anil Yadav, who was serving a life sentence for murder. He allegedly slit his throat using a wood-cutting machine, MG Road police station in-charge DVS Nagar said. The official of Indore jail informed that "Following Yadav's unexpected move, another prisoner Jitendra Verma tried to snatch the machine from his hand. When he failed to do so, he switched off the power supply to the machine." However, by the time the machine was switched off, it was too late. Yadav died due to excessive bleeding from the deep wound on his throat. The official added that the prisoner was lying in a pool of blood when the police arrived at the scene. 

A resident of Indore city's Azad Nagar area, Yadav had been sentenced to life imprisonment in a murder case in Narsinghpur district of the state in 2019, and had been transferred to the Indore Central Jail the same year, Nagar said. The police will be investigating the death further.
