However, he refused to make his presence felt and hence we did not insist," an official said.He also confirmed that although the initial days were tough slowly Partha Chatterjee is getting himself acclimatized with the prison atmosphere. "However, he prefers staying in the cell on his own and avoids interaction with anyone as far as possible unless extremely necessary," the official confirmed.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
