After keeping aloof from public glare for months following his release from prison, Bollywood actor and 1993 serial bomb blasts convict Sanjay Dutt turned up at an event organised by the BJP at a Mumbai suburb on the Maharashtra Day yesterday, surprising many in political circles.

"I waited for this day of azadi (freedom) for 23 years. I am not a terrorist. I was in jail under the Arms Act.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will be a free man tomorrow when he walks out of the Yerwada Jail in Pune where he served 42 months, as a part of his five-year sentence after being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case.

Preparations have begun for Sanjay Dutt's return to Bollywood. The actor, who is currently serving his jail term after conviction in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case, is due to walk free in the early hours of February 25.

Governor Vidyasagar Rao reportedly rejected the petition on the recommendation of the state home department, which said it would set a bad precedent as the actor's conviction was confirmed by the Supreme Court. Sanjay Dutt was jailed in an arms case related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts

In what could impact Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's case, the Supreme Court today said an important point had been overlooked while another convict was sentenced for similar charges. The observations were made on a petition by Sanjay Dutt's close friend, Yusuf Nulwala, who, like him, was convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts.

Mr Dutt 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

Yakub Abdul Razak Memon was hanged today in a jail in Maharashtra's Nagpur, for his role in the 1993 blasts in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed. The Supreme Court rejected his last-minute petition against execution at 5 am this morning, after a historic middle-of-the-night hearing.

While Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt may be accused in two different cases, there is a similar strand that runs through the very public trials for them, says Rana Ayyub.

Actor Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the Mumbai serial blasts case, today left home for jail to surrender on expiry of his 14-day furlough but was back home again, apparently due to lack of coordination between the prison and police authorities on his application seeking an extension of leave of absence.
