The Mumbai police is not taking any chances with the health of the terrorist Ajmal Kasab,21,who could help India prove its allegations of sponsored terrorism from across the border.
Kasab who was shifted to the Arthur road jail on February 20,is presently being kept inside the high security Anda cell of the prison. For security reasons most of the other prisoners have been shifted to other jails. Kasab is alone inside the Anda barrack. A doctor from the jail clinic conducts a check-up of the terrorist twice daily.
Arthur road jail Superintendent Swati Sathe confirmed the daily medical check-up conducted on Kasab and added that it is a routine thing to avoid him contracting any illness. Sources said,the doctor does the morning check-up between 8 am and 9 am. A check-up is also done between 6 pm and 7 pm.
His daily check-up includes a check on his respiratory organs,torso,hands,legs and private parts also,sources said. This exercise is done to make sure Kasab doesnt get any major disease.
The jail authorities are taking all precautions related to food by tasting the food before giving it to Kasab. He is eating the prescribed bhatta jail food as other undertrials.
