Prisoner dies after drinking sanitizer in Kerala
Palakkad: A remand prisoner died at the district hospital here on Thursday after allegedly drinking sanitiser which he mistook for alcohol, jail authorities said.
Ramankutty, who was lodged in the jail here as a remand prisoner since February 18, was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday morning after he collapsed inside the prison.
"We suspect that he drank a bottle of sanitiser which are manufactured in the jail premises (by the prisoners) as per the instructions of the state government," a senior jail official told PTI.
He was normal on Tuesday night and was also present for the roll call on Wednesday but collapsed at around 10.30 AM, officials said. Prison authorities use Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) as the major content of the hand sanitiser.
Police said they have registered a case and the exact cause of death would be known only after postmortem.

In a brief phone interview Saturday, Trump told Fox News that he told US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner “you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
Trump also said of the US side “we have all the cards.”
His comments came after the White House said Friday that Witkoff and Kushner would be heading to Pakistan for another round of negotiations with Iran.
