Sanjay Dutt out of jail for 14 days on medical grounds 

New Delhi ,

The 'Munnabhai' actor is currently on his way home in Mumbai.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been granted parole of 14 days for treatment of an undisclosed medical condition.

Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, has been serving his sentence in Yerwada jail, Pune since May this year.

Sanjay Dutt's application was submitted around 20 days ago and the actor had asked for a month-long parole in mid-August for treatment.

Sanjay Dutt was convicted by a TADA court for illegally possessing a 9 mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle, a part of the consignment of weapons and explosives brought to India for coordinated serial blasts that killed 257 people and injured over 700 in March 1993.

The Supreme Court had in March this year upheld his conviction under the Arms Act but reduced the six years to five.

He had already served a-year-and-half behind the bars before the apex court's judgement and is undergoing the remaining sentence of 42 months.

Sanjay Dutt was sent to Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai on May 16 after he surrendered before a designated TADA court and was shifted to Yerawada prison six days later.
