Sanjay Dutt salutes Yerawada Jail as he walks out a free man

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is finally a free man. He walked out of the Yerawada Jail after serving 42 months in prison, as a part of his five-year sentence after being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case.

Surrounded by police officials, Dutt walked out of the jail, turned around and saluted it. The actor was given exemption of eight months and 16 days, which he earned on account of good behaviour in prison.

Dutt was lodged in the Yerawada prison in May 2013 to undergo remainder of his sentence after being convicted for illegal possession of arms under the Arms Act.

He was arrested on April 19, 1993, for possession and destruction of an AK-56 rifle, which was a part of cache of arms and explosives which landed in India prior to the serial blasts of March 1993.

During the investigation, Dutt spent 18 months in jail. On July 31, 2007, the TADA court in Mumbai sentenced him to six years’ rigorous imprisonment under the Arms Act and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000. In 2013, the Supreme Court upheld the ruling but reduced the sentence to five years.

  • nyc to see sanju baba return
    would love to see him in good movies like munnabhai 3
    btw gud of him to not manipulate laws lyk other bhai did some tym back

  • I am sorry but this still doesn’t make sense. He was waived off 8 months jail, but that means he would have been released in December 2016, that’s not 3.5 yrs jail as this dude was out on parole for nearly six months on account of any silly excuses. If you are out on parole, the days you’re out of jail should be added to your term. This means Sanjay Dutt shouldn’t have been released until December 2016 (including his 8 months waived off term.) What happened to all those days he was out on parole? Nobody counted them?

    Or am I missing something? @indicine

  • Yes, he is a man not a coward.
    He faced the judicial trial with dignity and respected the decision of court as it came, instead of using cheap tricks and buying the evidences.
    Respect for Sanju Baba .

  • Salute This Honest Personality Who Accepted His Crime And Respected The Indian Law…

    There Is One Another Person Who Should Feel Shame On Himself…

    I Hope, You All Know Him…

  • Hope our Bhai also gets a chance to walk out of the jail like Sanju Baba, but … wait Bhai has spent 25 cr so far on his hit & run case, he won’t be going to jail in the first place.
    Money over Justice.

  • salman khan love genuinely sanjay dutt. salman khan love genuinely mithun as seen in kick & veer. salman khan love genuinely dharmendra as the he-man wants salman to play his biopic. salman khan love genuinely vinod khanna. But srk love jeetendra to request once in mumbai part two not to clash with ce to leave eid week for ce. srk love mithun to ask him for a cameo in oso. Srk love s.dutt for a cameo in oso.

  • @gj009 thats gud that u didnt figure out those missing days or miscalculate dont be so upset everyone knows he was not a terrorist. Everyone did mistake he possess those ak 47 jus to defend himself from Dawood Ibrahim, from whom he was getting threats.. He didn’t fire nor did he kill. For only possessing gun, 5 years jail is more than enough.

    He pays tax in crs and behave like a human thats why he was exempt before his date.

  • i like him he is one of the most talented actor he is a bigger star than akki and ajay hope he will do some great movie in the future

  • only 3 years punishment for such a heinous crime against the country???
    now this is why criminals are getting added day by day here.

  • SanJay Dutt along with sunny deol,govinda, anil kapur were also big stars once..

    But they r no more bankable stars….just in news due to crime ,sanjays l
    solo movies can’t even earn 30 crs now …

    When will Salman Akshay Amir shahrukh’s similar time will come? ?

  • Some idiots will never learn !!!!!!!!! Dutt was convicted for helping the criminals of Mumbai Blast of 1993 which killed hundreds of people. Salman is not same as Dutt’s case. If Salman has paid money to get away from Law then it means Sanju Baba did not have money ? Grow up idiots !!!!!!!!!

  • @xzone : You are no one to declare who is man and who is not. You can only bark against Salman but cannot own his destiny, you guys are not capable enough to give your so called king a single HGOTY since 8 years and you are out to judge someone. The fans of an actor who entered bollywood in a copy style (Big B’s motorcycle song from Muqaddar ka Sikandar) calls others as copy stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
