An undertrial hanged himself at Arthur Road jail on Thursday, police sources said. Mohammad Hameed Mohammad Iqbal Sheikh, 36, faced three cases of mobile theft. He was in Mumbai Central prison for the past two months.

The sources said Sheikh died by suicide in a bathroom around 5 am. Since the bathrooms at the jail do not have locks, he had kept the tap open giving others the impression that he was taking a bath. When he didn’t come out for a long time, fellow inmates pushed the door to find him hanging by a bedsheet.
