Sanjay Dutt finally gets 30-day parole to visit his ailing daughter

Sanjay Dutt (56) has, finally, succeeded in getting a 30-day parole to visit his daughter who is undergoing a nose surgery. Therefore, he has been allowed to leave prison for a month. He has been in prison after being found guilty in 2013 of acquiring illegal weapons from those who had been involved in the deadly 1993 attacks in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed, and hundreds injured.
This has been reported in ndtv.com dated 26 August 2015.

His frequent breaks from jail have been criticized in the past as evidence of VIP treatment. The last time he was given leave from jail was in December 2014. Subsequently, he had requested for an extension which was turned down. Between May 2013 and 2014, he had spent about 118 days out of prison.
It may be recalled that 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.
In 2007, he was cleared of conspiracy charges in the attacks but was found guilty of being in illegal possession of an AK-56 rifle and a pistol. He had claimed that he needed those weapons to protect himself and his family during the rioting that erupted in Mumbai after a series of bombs exploded at the city's landmarks.
