The special court at Arthur Road jail is being prepped after 15 years for the trial of Ajmal Qasab. The trial is set to happen there despite reports in a section of media that the trial will actually take place in Pune's Yerawada Central Prison in view of the threats to Qasab's life.

Arthur Road jail houses several gang leaders from the Dawood gang, who has reportedly threatened to kill Qasab as he is the lone 26/11 accused in India's possession.
