The police have found that a Muslim undertrial who died after falling sick, was actually a Hindu. He had given them a fake name. In the past one and half months, Byculla Jail officials have come across two such cases, wherein arrested accused used such names to mislead them.

The arrested accused identified himself as Naseeb Mohammed Khan, 29, and was sent to Byculla Jail. He fell sick and died at JJ hospital while undergoing treatment. It was later found that his name was Naseeb Mohankumar Sarki. In the second case, an HIV positive accused who was out on bail, was again caught for another offence and sent to Byculla Jail, under a new identity. However, staff exposed his lie.
