<p>The death came to light around 4 am when prison officials found the prisoner hanging with a bedsheet around his neck in a toilet, an official said.</p>
<p>The prisoner Mohammed Hanif Mohammed Iqbal Shaikh had kept water inside the toilet running to avoid suspicion, he said. Shaikh was accused in a theft case registered at JJ Marg police station, the official said, adding that the exact cause of suicide is yet to ascertain.</p>
