Sanjay Dutt shifted to Yerwada in Pune

Sanjay Dutt who surrendered last week, post his sentencing by the TADA court, was shifted to Pune's Yerwada prison. He will spend the next 42 months there to complete his jail term.

The 53 year old actor, who was convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case for illegal possession of weapons, has earlier served time twice there. However, unlike earlier when he was incarcerated while under trail, Dutt will now be spending time as a convict. The actor will hence have to wear jail uniform this time; he will be allotted a 'qaidi' or prisoner number soon, which will be prefixed with letter 'C' symbolizing that he is a convict.

The actor is expected to be lodged in what is known as the "Anda cell" at the Pune jail, which is egg-shaped. Half of it is sunk into the ground and is considered one of the most secure cells in the prison.
