Fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi, if and when he is extradited, will be lodged in Barrack Number 12 of the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai, reports suggest. This is the same barrack that is supposed to house the fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya when he is brought back to India.

India is presently trying tooth and nail to extradite these two infamous businessmen from United Kingdom. Both are in London. While Mallya is out on bail, Modi is incarcerated at Her Majesty's Prison Wandsworth.

As of now, three prisoners are lodged in one room while the other one is vacant, he said, adding that if extradited, Modi and Mallya will be lodged in the same room, having an area of 20 ft by 15 ft and equipped with three fans, six tubelights and two windows.

The prison department also assured that Modi will be kept in a cell where the number of other detainees is not more than three, the official said.

"If lodged in the barrack, Modi is likely to get three square metre personal space, as per European norms, per person lodged in correction centres, and he will be provided a cotton mat, pillow, bed-sheet and blanket," he said.

He will be permitted out of his cell for exercise and recreation for a reasonable amount of time, which will not more than an hour a day, the official said. The prison department also assured that adequate light, ventilation and storage for personal belongings will be provided, the official said.

Modi will also get clean drinking water every day, round-the-clock medical facilities, and toilet and washing facilities, he said. All such facilities will be provided without any discrimination, as per lodging policy in vogue.

"As the barrack is highly secured and the policemen posted there are well-trained to handle any situation, there has been not any incident there in the past of torture or ill-treatment," he said.
