Mumbai terror attack convict Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab is suffering from fever and undergoing treatment in the high security Arthur Road jail here, police said on Sunday.
‘Kasab is being treated for fever for the past few days. Suspecting that the prisoner could be suffering from dengue, three tests were conducted on him by a team of doctors of JJ hospital but the results were negative,’ said a police official. ‘Doctors do not want to take any chance. Kasab is under observation and responding to treatment,’ the official said.
Kasab is lodged in a bomb proof cell at the jail since his arrest. His mercy plea was rejected last month by the government, which has sent its recommendation to the President.
