Mumbai: Sanjay Dutt fans are in for a celebration as he is all set to walk out of jail on February 27 after the Maharashtra government remitted his sentence in the Mumbai serial blasts case.
The Bollywood actor, whose five-year sentence for his involvement in the 1993 blasts was confirmed by the Supreme Court in March 2013, will be freed next month, according to media sources on Wednesday, January 6.
The sources indicated that barring last-minute glitches, Sanjay would be released after completing the remaining 42-month period of his sentence.
Dutt was acquitted of terror charges under the TADA, but found guilty of possessing illegal arms, acquired ostensibly to protect his family during the communal conflagration that engulfed Mumbai after the demolition of the Babri Mosque on December 6, 1992.
Of the five-year sentence, the actor had already served 18 months as an undertrial and was required to undergo another 42 months, which is now on the verge of completing.
