The self-inculpatory confession of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt that he possessed fire arms led to his conviction and award of five years jail term by the Supreme Court which termed his statement under TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act) as a "substantive" piece of evidence.
The son of famous Bollywood couple late Sunil Dutt and Nargis who has already been in jail for 18 months, will now have to surrender within four weeks to undergo the remaining three-and-half years prison term.
"The appellant not only implicates himself in the above said statement but also amongst others the appellant Yusuf Nulwalla. The above said confession has been duly recorded by PW-193 (a police officer) who has proved the compliance with the provisions of law while recording the confession.
