Chandigarh, April 18: Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) chief and 2016 Nabha jailbreak accused Harminder Singh Mintoo died on Wednesday of "cardiac arrest", police said.
Police sources said Mintoo complained of uneasiness after a court hearing through videoconferencing in the Patiala Central jail, around 60 km from here.
Mintoo was examined by a prison doctor and later referred to a government hospital where he was declared dead.
A probe has been ordered into his death.
Mintoo was among six prisoners who made a sensational jailbreak from the maximum security prison in Nabha town in November 2016. He was re-arrested from Delhi's Nizamuddin railway station within a few hours.
Mintoo was earlier arrested from New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport in November 2014 after he returned from abroad. He was accused of involvement in various terror cases, including an attack on Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.
He was accused of hatching a conspiracy, at the behest of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, to revive terrorism in Punjab.
Mintoo was hiding in Thailand and Malaysia.

YouTuber and his girlfriend rescued from drowning by IPS officer in Goa
Mumbai, Dec 26: Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia has said he and his girlfriend were swept away by an underwater current on Christmas evening in Goa but were rescued by another couple.
Allahbadia, who goes by the name of BeerBiceps on social media, shared his story on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
He thanked an IPS officer and his IRS wife for saving their lives.
"We're perfectly fine & well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation. We both love swimming in the open ocean. I've been doing this since I was a kid. But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current," the YouTuber said.
"This has happened to me before but I've never been alongside a companion. It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you. After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of five swimming nearby," he added.
Allahbadia said the experience has left both of them feeling "blank as well as grateful". "We felt the protection of God throughout the incident,” he added.
