Sidhu was moved to the Patiala Central Jail after he surrendered before a local court on May 20 to serve the one-year prison term handed out to him by the Supreme Court in the 1988 road rage case.
Previously too, the 58-year-old Congress leader had observed silence for a few days during Navratri.
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu was sentenced to one-year rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Court in a 1988 road rage case in which a 65-year-old man named Gurnam Singh had died.
The apex court said the blow inflicted, in this case, was not on a person identically physically placed but a 65-year-old man, who was more than double the age of the then cricketer at that time, and Sidhu cannot say that he did not know the effect of the blow or plead ignorance on this aspect.
