A 38-year-old remand prisoner was found hanging from the steel door of a cell in the Central Prison here in the early hours of Thursday, police said.
Shaktivel, a native of Vellakoil in Tirupur district, was arrested in January last year for his involvement in a murder case in 2020 and lodged in the Central Jail here since then.
