'Munnabhai' Sanjay Dutt a free man again - released from Yerwada jail

Bollywood actor 56-year old Sanjay Dutt has returned back to Mumbai after his release from Yerawada prison after serving 42 months for possessing an AK-56 supplied by gangsters behind a series of bomb blasts in Mumbai in 1993. He kissed the ground as he walked free from the jail in Pune, after authorities decided to release him ahead of schedule for good behavior.
This has been reported in hindustantimes.com dated 25 February 2016.

Once out of prison, he boarded a chartered flight to Mumbai with wife Manyata and children Iqra and Shahran and was given a rousing welcome by his fans at the airport. From there he went on to pay obeisance at Siddhivinayak temple and, later, accompanied by his family, he went to visit his mother and late Bollywood actor Nargis Dutt’s grave to offer his prayers.
It may be recalled that he was first arrested on April 19, 1993, for possession and destruction of an AK-56 rifle, which was a part of cache of arms and explosives which landed in India prior to the serial blasts of March 1993. He spent 18 months in jail in 1993. On July 31, 2007, the TADA court in Mumbai sentenced him to six years’ rigorous imprisonment under the Arms Act and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000. In 2013, the Supreme Court upheld the ruling but reduced the sentence to five years.
