Sanjay Dutt to make paper bags in Jail, to be paid Rs 25 a day

Sanjay DuttJailed Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will be trained to make paper bags at the Yerawada Central Jail, official sources said Saturday. He is likely to be paid Rs.25 a day.

Dutt is undergoing his 42-month prison sentence after being linked to the 1993 Mumbai terror attack. It is his second stint in the jail.

A jail official said the actor will be trained to make high quality, heavy duty paper bags with a capacity of 6-8 kg, which are now gradually replacing plastic bags in the market.

He is likely to get a remuneration of Rs.25 a day for this laborious work. However, depending on his skills and efficiency, the payment could gradually go up to Rs.40 per day.

The official indicated that in view of security concerns, Dutt will undertake this task indoors, inside his maximum security enclosure.

Dutt had expressed a desire to carry out heavy duty work in the prison which would help him keep fit, but this was declined on security grounds.

During his previous prison stint over a decade ago, Dutt was trained to make cane chairs, an outdoor chore.

Other jobs in the prison include making heavy and light furniture, candles, bags and other items of daily use which are sold outside through NGOs or government departments.

  • I don’t think sanjay dutt will be in jail for 42 months. He will be out with in 8 or 9 months max. If any one wanna bet can come forward

  • @soroop : It seems u r a SC judge or a jailor who knows everything. I wish Sanju Baba come out in 3 months but it is better to serve full punishment n come out as a better human than coming out early with no changes.

  • a crimnal like sanjay dutt should be punished severly,he should be charged under TADA act.You cant hide ur crimes if ur a bollywood actor a crime is a crime afterall many people lost their loved ones in 1993 bomb blast.sanju should be example to sm actors like shiney ahuja,saif,tabu,neelam,salman who want to hide their crimes by just being a celebrity,pz a request to our law reformers punish them soon punish them hard
