Abdul Qadir, a 62-year-old undertrial prisoner, died in Bengaluru jail after nearly 17 years in custody over the 2008 serial bomb blasts case. His death came weeks before the expected final verdict. He suffered from severe diabetes and complications. His lawyer alleged that repeated medical bail requests were ignored and a doctor had warned about his critical condition the day before he died.
