Abu Jundal doesn’t want to live in Kasab’s Cell in Jail

Perhaps the fate of Ajmal Kasab has scared many.. Thats why Abu Jundal has requested Mumbai High Court not to place him longer in the the same cell where  Ajmal Kasab was lodged.

Jundal has recently been extradited from Saudi Arabia and is an accused in the 26/11 Conspiracy Case.

Jundal has been lodged in Arthur Road prison in central Mumbai. His cell was earlier occupied by Kasab, the lone arrested terrorist of 26/11 attacks, before he was executed at Pune’s Yerawada jail. “The applicant (Jundal) has been kept in solitary confinement since six months.

Due to this he is depressed and thus not able to think clearly. Like all under-trials Jundal should also be kept in the common barracks and allowed certain privileges,” the petition pleaded.

Before the lower court, Jundal’s application had claimed that he hallucinated about Kasab. The court then ordered his psychiatric check-up, but jail authorities said that he was mentally sound. The present petition also claims that he is mentally unfit and was under medication when confined at Tihar jail in Delhi.

He is being tried before the MCOCA court here for alleged involvement in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case.
