Following the sentencing handed down by a court giving Sanjaya Dutt a six - year jail term in connection with the 1993 serial blasts case, the actor spent his first day in captivity at the high-security Arthur Road Jail while he struggles to come to terms with reality after the initial shock.

Today Dutt's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, met the star in barrack number one of the jail, which is used to hold people facing trial.

Following the meeting, Maneshinde said Dutt was doing fine and denied reports of him having some health problems.

A man who was today taken from Arthur Road Jail for a hearing in court having been accused of cheating, claimed he too was confined in barrack number one and had seen Dutt in a state of shock yesterday. The man claimed Dutt ate only fruits and refused other food.

Jail authorities, however, were not divulging any information in regard to the celebrity prisoner. Dutt spent 16 months in the same prison in two spells after his arrest in 1993.

Barrack number one of the jail in central Mumbai houses older prisoners and 'well-to-do Undertrials', accounding to sources.

Today high-ranking officials, inluding Inspector General of Prisons Satish Mathur, DIG (Prisons) S P Yadav and Arthur Road Jail Superintendent Swati Sathe, held a meeting to discuss whether Dutt, a convict, can serve his sentence in a jail meant for persons facing trial.
