Lodged in an egg-shaped high-security &#39;Anda&#39; cell, actor Sanjay Dutt is feeling &quot;suffocated&quot; in its confines, which are generally used to house terror suspects and hardcore criminals, and pleaded the TADA court today to shift him to another cell as he is not a terrorist. <img alt="1993 Mumbai blasts: Sanjay Dutt feeling suffocated in 'Anda' cell, pleads to be shifted" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/Sanjay-Dutt_11.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 567px;" /> Sanjay Dutt Rizwan Merchant, counsel for Dutt, made an oral plea before the court to shift the actor from &#39;Anda&#39; cell in Arthur Road Central Prison to some other cell, saying &quot;the actor felt suffocated in this chamber due to insufficient ventilation.&quot; He said generally terrorists or hardcore criminals are kept in &#39;Anda&#39; cell to segregate them from other prisoners for security reasons. Dutt has not been convicted under TADA and was not a terrorist. He was convicted under Arms Act and as such he should not be lodged in the egg-shaped cell, Rizwan pleaded. The lawyer maintained that the cell has insufficient ventilation and does not get proper light. Designated Judge GA Sanap asked him to move a written application in this regard so that he would pass an order after hearing the prosecution. Merchant said he would file an application later. The 53-year-old actor was taken to the jail in central Mumbai last night after he surrendered before TADA Court in keeping with the Supreme Court deadline to complete his remaining 42-month sentence in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. He has already spent 18 months in jail. The Supreme Court, in March this year, reduced Dutt&#39;s sentence to five years from the six-year jail term awarded to him by TADA Court in 2006 for illegal possession of arms.u00a0
