An undertrial prisoner died in West Bengal's Nadia district, police said on Thursday, following which family members and neighbours protested alleging foul play.
The undertrial prisoner was on Tuesday found unconscious in his cell at a sub jail correctional home here and rushed to state-run JNM Hospital here, where he was declared brought dead by the doctors.
While the Kalyani sub division jail authorities said, 33-year-old Bosu Das died due to illness, the family of the deceased alleged that the police and jail officials were hiding the "actual incident".
Agitated family members and neighbours demonstrated before the Kalyani Police Station, SDO Office, Hospital morgue and the jail on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Ranaghat Superintendent of Police VSR Ananthnag said, "I can comment on it only after receiving the autopsy report."
