The Policegiri actor was shifted from the anda cell to another cell upon an oral application by his lawyer to the Tada court
Sanjay Dutt who surrendered on May 16 before the special TADA
court in Mumbai in order to complete his three-and-a-half year
sentence in prison, was worried about the conditions in jail. The
troubled Bollywood actor was convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial
bomb blasts case for possession of arms including AK-56 rifles.
After surrendering, Dutt was allowed to carry the Bhagavad Gita,
Hanuman Chalisa andRamayana with him. The court also
permitted him home cooked food, medicines, a pillow, a mattress
and toiletries. But being sent in the cell at Arthur Road Jail that hold
terrorists and other dreaded criminals, 53-year-old actor read some
spiritual books he brought along with him. He also did physical
exercise this morning. However, the actor appeared restless and
kept to himself.
On Friday Dutt’s lawyer Rizwan Merchant, appeared before the
Tada court and argued that Dutt was not a terrorist and did not
deserve to be lodged in the anda cell. Apparently, the absence of
ventilation made him restless. He was later shifted from the anda
cell to another cell.
Depending on the threat perception to his life officials have to
choose between Yerawada in Pune, Nashik, Taloja, Kolhapur and
Nagpur prisons. It looks like he might be here for the next seven to
eight days until the pofficials decide which jail to shift him to.
