Salman has arrived at Jodhpur Central Jail and very soon he will undergo a medical test. One of the sources in Jodhpur Central Jail said that that the room where Salman will be kept doesn’t have all the basic amenities. There is no cooler or AC and the cell is like a normal prison. Other criminals like Asaram Bapu, Malkhan Singh Vishnoi, and Shambhu Lal are in the same jail and now Salman will be their inmates. Malkhan Singh Vishnoi and Shambhu Lal are accused in the Bawri Devi case and the Rajasthan hacking case and Asaram Bapu was accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old schoolgirl on August 3, 2013.
