MUMBAI: Pakistani-born Canadian national Tahawwur Rana (64) is likely to be lodged in barrack number 12 in Arthur Road jail if and when he is brought to the city to face trial.
Barrack number 12 is the same building where Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab was kept in a bomb-proof cell before his execution in Nov 2012.
"So far, no instructions have been issued. Once he is brought here, we will see where to keep him," said a jail official.
Mumbai Central Prison , commonly referred to as Arthur Road jail, was built in 1925 and is spread over three acres. It has a capacity of 1,100 but on average, houses 4,000 inmates, inviting complaints of overcrowding and unhygienic conditions for undertrials.
Barrack 12 is unique in that it is a more secure area, separate from the general barracks and not all its cells are occupied. During Kasab's time, the building even had its own kitchen.
A jail source said, "Rana could be lodged in one of the three cells located on ground floor of barrack number 12."
