Sanjay will cook at Yerwada jail

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.
