<p>Gangster tells Bombay High Court he was shunted out of Arthur Road's 'anda cell' because he failed to cough up Rs 5 lakh every month as bribe, alleges jail officials threw him out to the barracks</p>


Mumbai's oldest and largest prison, Arthur Road jail is selling a day-night luxury package. The jail's anda cell (egg-shaped high security block) can be secured for a sum of R5 lakh monthly over the decrepit, unhygienic and unsafe normal barracks, a gangster has said in an application made to the Bombay High Court recently. A 'comfortable stay' includes the delivery of a personal tiffin, access to cigarettes, magazines, playing cards, a carrom board, television, radio, and other facilities.
