Jagan, who declared assets of Rs 356 crore last year and is accustomed to live luxuriously in his palatial bungalows, will now have to live a tough life.
Immediately after he entered the jail, he was taken to admission barracks and was given the prisoner number by jail authorities. Jail doctors also examined him.

Nimmagadda and Brahmananda Reddy are accused in the Jagan case while others are accused in illegal mining and Emaar-APIIC township cases.
