Sanjay Dutt released from jail
NEW DELHI: Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt has been released from a prison in the western Indian city of Pune.
Dutt, 56, was sentenced for firearms offences linked to the 1993 Mumbai blasts which killed 257 people and injured 713.
He was convicted of buying firearms from the bombers but said the weapons were necessary in order to defend his family during Hindu-Muslim rioting. The actor was moved to the Pune jail in 2013 to finish his five-year jail term.But he was recently granted a remission of 144 days on the basis of good behaviour and activities like running a radio programme.
“His remission was worked out in compliance with jail rules and he was treated like any other convict,” the chief of Pune Yerwada Jail Superintendent UT Pawar told the Press Trust of India news agency.
