Several high-profile accused, including Peter Mukerjea and Mustafa Dossa, were seen attending the session.

“I just want to say forget what you have done in your past and concentrate on future... You should all try and forget the feeling of revenge,” said Ramdev to the inmates.

Inmates of Arthur Road Jail participate in Ramdev’s yoga session on Saturday.

As the yoga guru displayed asanas on stage, all the inmates put their best foot forward and followed his instructions. Even Mukherjea was seen trying his best to follow Ramdev.

While the older inmates tried their best to do the asanas, the younger ones seemed to be doing better.

Before the yoga session began, the inmates enjoyed live performances of devotional and old Bollywood songs.
