Sanjay Dutt is no longer in Arthur Road Jail and on Thursday night was shifted to Yeravada Central Jail in Pune. Many officials were concerned about the safety of the actor in Arthur Jail and hence saw it essential to shift him Yeravada, which is on the outskirts of the city. Dutt’s lawyer Farhana Shah wanted Dutt to be retained in Arthur Jail s his sister and Congress MP Priya Dutt was pregnant. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, however, said jail authorities raised objections to Dutt’s application. He said the Arthur Road jail was meant for under trials and not convicts as there was no provision for work in Arthur Road.
