Nagpur: A dispute over snoring allegedly turned violent inside Nagpur Central Jail after a 29-year-old undertrial prisoner assaulted a fellow inmate who objected to the noise while he was sleeping. The incident occurred at approximately 4:35 am on November 4, 2026, in Barrack No. 4 of the Badi Gol section of Nagpur Central Jail, which falls under the jurisdiction of Dhantoli Police Station.
