Mumbai: After mutton biryani, Mumbai terror attacks accused Ajmal Kasab now wants basmati rice to be served to him in jail.
The Superintendent of Arthur Jail, where Kasab is lodged, told that Kasab wants spicy food and basmati rice for himself and if he does not get the dish of his choice he gets furious and abuses the staff of the jail.
Last week, he had demanded basmati rice and before that wanted mutton biryani, Jail Superintendent Rajendra Dhamne said on Monday.
“Kasab’s mood swings still continue and time and again we reprimand him,” he said.
He has thrown tantrums in jail in last few days by refusing to eat food, not dressing in time to go to the court and abusing the staff who attend him, the official said.
The jail authorities have complained to the special court, which is hearing the Mumbai terror attacks case, about Kasab’s misbehaviour.
Kasab along with two Indians is facing the trial for killing 166 people on November 26 last year.
All prisoners are given food as prescribed in the jail manual, Dhamne said.
The court is yet to hear the complaint, although it had earlier pulled up Kasab for his misbehaviour and warned him to show good conduct failing which it would take strict action, jail officials said.
Whenever Kasab is reprimanded by Judge ML Tahaliyani he stops all that, but again resorts to his behaviour after some time, they said.
A camera is fitted in Kasab's cell and his movements are being watched round the clock. He is guarded by Indo-Tibetan Border Police along with the jail guards. There are three watch towers around his cell which is isolated from others.
The trial, which began in April, is expected to conclude this year end.
More than 150 witnesses have been examined so far and about 50 others are expected to depose, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said.
