A massive gathering flocked the entrance gates of the TADA court in Mumbai on Tuesday. The special hearing of the case regarding the charges of 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai, against Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt had to take place. Sanjay was sentenced to 5-yr imprisonment under the Arms act.
At 10:25 in the morning, Sanjay Dutt arrived amongst tight security at the TADA court. Well-wishers and media-persons flanked outside the court’s premises.
At 12:45, the hearing of the case was started and thereafter, Sanjay Dutt was given the penalties accordingly.
Found guilty in: Of charges framed under the Sections 3 and 7 read with Section 25 of the Arms Act. He defended himself saying that the illegal possession of the weapons was for self-defence. He possessed three AK-56 rifles, its ammunition, 9 mm pistol, its cartridges and hand grenades, which were part of the consignment smuggled by Tiger Memon.
Acquitted in: Of charges framed under Section 120-b of the Indian Penal Code (conspiracy) and Section 3 (3) of TADA. He was not involved in the conspiracy of the serial blasts in Mumbai on Friday, 12th March ‘93.
After that Sanjay Dutt appealed for a bail.
An emotional Sanjay Dutt: When the court resumed its proceedings, Sanjay Dutt asked for mercy. He talked of his only daughter studying abroad, her education funding, and that he has to take care of his two sisters and his father’s property after his demise.
Court grants an extended bail to Sanjay Dutta till 19th December.
With limited number of days in hand before his bail ends, Sanjay has to wind up all his pending projects and his family matters. But, was Sanjay Dutt given the apt verdict? Was he really innocent in the conspiracy of serial blasts? Why time and again his name crops up with the underworld? What will happens to the numerous film projects undertaken by him which are yet not complete? Such questions and many more spring up as we begin the countdown of Sanjay’s remaining days outside the prison; not long before until he is put behind the bars. Surely, at this moment, our Munna Bhai is missing his dad, late Sunil Dutt’s Jaadu Ki Jhappi. Let’s see what else we can expect from this highly crucial case for the film industry, keeping in mind with Munna Bhai flicks, Sanju is at the peak of his career.

I FELL THAT SANJAY DUTT HAS GOT AN HARSH SENTENCE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN LIGHTER ONE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 YEARS
Really as a true indian, we should all pray to god that sanjay dutt will be out as early as possible. As this man learn abt gandhigiri to whole world, How should he given such a harsh punishment…. Sunjay We All R With U
dats not fair!! he cant do something lyk dat hez not dat sort of person..
we wont see sanjay anymore on screen for six years. munna bhai and his goodness went with him to jail. if he behaves nicely, he can get a chance for a earlier parole instead of all of the six years complete.
the indian court has treated sanjay dutt with the fairness not necessary at this point. why not treat indian politicians this harsh instead of bollywood stars who make the nation smile.
i think that sanjay has got much more harsh sentence ,,,but we wish to see him very soon
v love u sanjay……u rock…..v will pray for u…
He is a legend and why is The indian courts persecuting a man who simply armed himself to protect his family??? Good job it wasn’t me – I would have been on the streets picking off people who threatened my family!!!
