Sanjay Dutt will undergo an “aptitude test” for authorities to ascertain his preferences before he is allotted work at Yerawada prison.
The 48-year-old star, who was brought to the jail here from Mumbai last night, will be asked about his choices and preferences before he is alloted manual work as part of the rigorous imprisonment.
The choices for prison work include textiles, laundry, baking, paper printing, carpentry and painting, jail sources said today. “Normally we ask for the preferences of prisoners and try to know their aptitude before assigning daily work,” a source said.
Among the reasons cited for shifting Dutt from Arthur Road Jail to Yerawada was that the former is only meant for holding people facing trial and that the actor could not be given compulsory manual work in the prison in Mumbai.
