404 after redirection

Hi Team,

I have a specific scenario –
I created a custom category say Fruit Basket. So the slug created was fruit-basket in the category page URL.
But I want the category URL to be http://www.xyz.com/fruit instead of http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket
I cannot modify the slug since there are other things mapped to the slug and changing the slug would break the code.
I used Redirection plugin and added a redirect from http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket to http://www.xyz.com/fruit but it shows page not found on http://www.xyz.com/fruit
