Court rejects Sanjay Dutt's plea to surrender before jailor

April 15, 2013 18:19

A designated TADA court today rejected the plea of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, to surrender before jail authorities instead of the court.

Dutt has to surrender by April 18 before the TADA court in keeping with the directive of the Supreme Court, which recently upheld his conviction in the bombings while reducing his imprisonment from six years to five.

The actor has already served 18 months in jail and has to spend three years and six months more to complete the sentence.

Dutt's lawyer made an oral plea before the court to give him the liberty to surrender before the jail authorities.
