On Thursday night Sanjay Dutt,6 years rigorous imprisonment, was shifted to Yeravada Central Jail in Pune, on the outskirts of the city, where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned during freedom struggle days.

Dutt was taken to the Arthur Road Jail immediately after the verdict but authorities submitted a report that cited several reasons why he could not be kept at Arthur Road Jail. As a result, he was shifted to the Yeravada Jail under tight security after he withdrew his application to be kept in a prison in the state capital.

According to the jail official, Dutt will be in a separate high-security egg-shaped cell. He went through a medical check-up soon after his arrival. He will now receive home food and he has to wear prisoner's clothes.
