Navjot Sidhu in JAIL: Sindhu was brought to Patiala central jail after the Congress leader surrendered to serve the one-year imprisonment.
The sentence was awarded by the Supreme Court in a 1988 road rage death case, that led to the death of a man.
As Sidhu has to undergo rigorous imprisonment, he will also have to work in the prison.
Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia, who had contested against Sidhu from Amritsar East earlier this year, is also lodged in the same jail in connection with a drug case.
Sidhu and Majithia had both lost the elections to AAP’s Jeevan Jyot Kaur.
Navjot Singh Sidhu Case Explained: Sidhu was acquitted in connection with the culpable homicide charges but was convicted of the offence of voluntarily causing hurt.
The court had slapped a fine of Rs 1,000 on Sidhu and also acquitted Sidhu`s associate, Rupinder Singh Sandhu in the case.
The Sessions Court Judge of Patiala on September 22, 1999, acquitted Sidhu and his associate, due to a lack of evidence in the case and giving the benefit of the doubt.
