Actor Sanjay Dutt to be released from jail on Feb 27
Mumbai, Jan 6 (IBNS) Actor Sanjay Dutt, jailed in an illegal arms case related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts, will be released on February 27, media reports said.
The 56-year-old actor, whose arrest, legal battle and conviction made repeated headlines across the country, will be walking free from Yerwada jail in Pune a few days ahead of his actual release date.
His reprieve is said to be on grounds of good behaviour.
Sanjay Dutt was found guilty in 2013 of acquiring illegal weapons from those involved in the 1993 attacks in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed.
He was sentenced to six years in jail in 2007; he served 18 months but then was out on bail, fighting the conviction until a court in March 2013 ordered him back to jail in Pune.
