October 23, 2013 16:18

Just in: Home Ministry seeks the opinion of the Maharashtra Government on reducing sentence of actor Sanjay Dutt.

Dutt, 53, is serving the remaining 42-month jail term for possessing illegal firearms, part of the cache of weapons which were supposed to be used during the 1993 bombings.

He was shifted to Yerawada jail from Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail on May 22 in a hush-hush pre-dawn operation. In its March 21 verdict, the Supreme Court had reduced Dutt's jail term from six years to five.

The actor had already served 18 months behind bars. On May 10, the Supreme Court had dismissed Dutt's plea seeking review of its judgement on his conviction and the five-year jail sentence.
