Sanjay Dutt will cook for his fellow prisoners at Yerawada jail in Pune

Sanjay Dutt, who has hardly had the appetite to eat anything at Arthur Road jail, will now have to cook for his 3,000-odd fellow prisoners at Yerawada jail in Pune.

The actor, who was transferred there with his friend Yusuf Nullwala last night, will assist a team of cooks from today morning, when his prison term will officially start, revealed senior officials at the jail.

Dutt, who has been sentenced to six years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) by the TADA court for possession of arms has been deputed to the kitchen — a fairly easy job by jail standards, despite the smoke and slippery floors. RI means doing labour like cooking, carpentry, farming, working on handlooms, etc.

A jail official said Dutt may be shifted to carpentry or pottery only after officials are sure he will be detained there for a longer period.

Dutt has been kept in the Anda Barrack, which has three cells. He has been kept in a cell with his friend Yusuf Nullwalla, who has been convicted for helping to destroy Dutt's weapons.

The other two cells lodge stamp scam kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi and the '93 blasts convicts on death row. Police and jail authorities are manning this barrack.

GOOD BYE, MUMBAI: Sanjay Dutt waves as he leaves Arthur Road Jail for Yerawada Jail in Pune with fellow convict Yusuf Nullwalla yesterday.

Gandhiji's jail

The Gandhi connect has re-appeared in Munnabhai's life. Mahatma Gandhi was incarcerated at Yerawada jail for six years from 1922. Gandhi spent most of his time there translating works of Marathi saints and fasting.

Gang wars

Yerawada jail has a chequered history. It was once considered Arun Gawli's stronghold and is very likely that Gawli's sympathisers are still active in the jail.

Already, members of the former Gawli gang are known to have threatened Dutt during his detention in 1993.

Former Dawood Ibrahim aide Subash Singh Thakur took over the reign after Gawli was released on bail. Thakur created a reign of terror with his cronies Baba Gabriel, Bachchi Pandey, Bhai Thakur and Shyamkishore Garigapatti.

The latter was later removed to Kalyan jail, from where he managed to escape by forging his own release papers.

Chhota Rajan's key lieutenant Anil Nanduskar alias Andiya is also in Yerawada jail now.

Sanjay Dutt is not innocent but yes! 6 years rigourous punishment is harsh. He is guilty of carrying the weapons and booked under TADA.
