Liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya will be brought to Arthur Road jail, barrack number 12, in case he is extradited from the UK in connection with loan default cases registered against him in India. Authorities at the Arthur Road prison have kept a high security cell ready for the same.

One of the prison officials said that if extradited, Mallya will be lodged in one of the highest security barracks located in a two-storey building in the prison complex, which also housed 26/11 Mumbai attack terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Kasab.

He added that in case of a medical emergency, Mallya will be treated at the dispensary located close to the barrack, where doctors and other staff will be present to provide basic treatment to prisoners.At present, Kasab’s handler, Abu Jundal, is lodged on the first floor. The ground floor has four inmates, including ex-media honcho Peter Mukerjea.
