CHENNAI: A 47-year-old history sheeter who was arrested two weeks ago and lodged in Central Prison, Puzhal, died while undergoing treatment at the prison ward of Government Stanley Medical College Hospital on Wednesday.

The deceased, Sudhakar of Anna Nagar, was allegedly involved in 37 criminal cases, including two murder cases. Police said a non-bailable warrant had been issued against him after he failed to appear before a court in connection with six pending cases.

While being imprisoned, Sudhakar complained of illness and was diagnosed with jaundice.
