Bangalore: officials at the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, were nervous, more nervous than their star prisioner, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who was sentenced to four years in jail on Saturday. Her prision no. 7402.

Like the official bungalow of a chief minister, when he or she takes over, her cell too, has received a make over. With the addiotion of an LCD TV, refrigerator and bed,  to re-tiling bathroom floors and walls,Jayalalithaa’s cell has undergone a complete makeover within hours.Sources say tht the cell has even been fitted with a wash basin and a western style toilet. Doors and windows have also been covered with curtains to prevent people viewing from outside.

Security: Parappana Agrahara has turned into a virtual fortress with the the arrival of the high-profile inmate. However, the prison has a shortage of female personnel for her round the clock security and  it is reported indicate that the the AIADMK supremo, lost her cool when a senior male prisons official visited her cell during Saturday night rounds as part of the increased security.

The 66-year-old AIADMK supremo has been given Z-plus security cover and even prison officials below the rank of inspector will need permission from the chief superintendent or DIG to visit her cell.

All prison officials on duty have been asked to switch off their mobiles to ensure no information pertaining to Jayalalithaa is leaked to the media.

Kannada: Doctors are monitoring the supremo’s health condition – she suffers from diabetes and hypertension. Reportedly she spoke in fluent kannada to them and they were pleasantly surprise. She reportedly told them she hailed from Melkote in Mandya district and studied in Bangalore’s Bishop Cotton Girl’s High School.

SHORT STAY?

Jayalalithaa’s stay at Parappana Agrahara will most likely be a short one as she is set to move the High Court for bail on Monday.
