Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:

Shaikh Jamin alias Kaichi Shaikh Salim (23, Naregaon), who was arrested for serious crimes like murders and robberies, attempted to commit suicide at the high-security barrack of Harsul Central Jail on Monday afternoon.

Earlier too, he had created a commotion at the jail in 2021 by manhandling officers and employees. Because of his dangerous behaviours, he was placed in the high-security barrack. Duttatray Misal, the peon of the jail lodged a complaint with Harsul Police Station. A case was registered against Kaichi last night.

Shaikh Jamin was sent to jail three months ago in a robbery case that took place within the jurisdiction of MIDC Cidco Police Station.

He tore a piece of bedsheet at the High-Security Barrack (no 5) of Harsul Jail and tried to end his life by hanging himself to the door rod. When the incident came to light, other jail inmates rushed and saved him. Police inspector Prashant Potdar said that a case was registered with Harsul Police Station against him.
