Wanted Greater Manchester man dies in Indian jail

Wanted Greater Manchester man dies in Indian jail

One of the UK's most wanted fugitives, from Greater Manchester, has died in an Indian prison while awaiting extradition.



Ajay Kaushal, 50, from Stretford, skipped bail and fled the UK in 2005 before his trial for the kidnap and torture of a Lancashire businessman.

He was jailed in his absence for 15 years at Preston Crown Court.

Kaushal was eventually caught in Goa in October. He was being held in jail as the process of bringing him home began.

He was found unconscious in his cell on Monday and died in hospital.
