MUMBAI, Aug 2, 2007 (AFP) - Bollywood action hero Sanjay Dutt was moved late Thursday to the prison where Mahatma Gandhi was incarcerated during British rule, officials said.

'Sanjay Dutt has been moved out of the Arthur Road jail to Yerawada jail near Pune, due to lack of space and security concerns,' a senior jail authority said on condition of anonymity.
