Sanjay Dutt to walk out of jail on February 27 - Actor Sanjay Dutt will walk out of jail on February 27 after the Maharashtra government has remitted his prison term in the Mumbai serial blasts case.

The sources indicated that except for last-minute glitches, Sanjay would be freed after completing the remaining 42-month period of his sentence.

Dutt was cleared of terror charges under the TADA, but found guilty of possessing illegal arms, acquired allegedly to protect his family during the communal inferno that swamped Mumbai after the demolition of the Babri Mosque on December 6, 1992.

After the apex court orders, his bail was cancelled and he was ordered to surrender within four weeks, which he obeyed on May 16, 2013 and was jailed in Arthur Road Central Jail.

A week later, he was moved to the Yeravada Central Jail, Pune, where he has been jailed since then and has earned the status of being a well-behaved inmate.

The actor had already served 18 months as an undertrial and was required to undergo another 42 months, which is now about to get completed.

During his serving time, Dutt was granted either parole or furlough on various grounds, attracting a lot of condemnation from various quarters, while some prominent personalities called for his release from jail.
