Sanjay Dutt has been granted early relief on the grounds of good behavior while as a prisoner. In 2007, the actor was cleared of conspiracy charges in connection with the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai that killed 257 people and injured hundreds. The case did not end there. Sanjay was found guilty of illegal possession of an AK-56 rifle and a pistol and was sentenced to five years in jail. The actor had already served 18 months in jail before he got a bail. Later, he was fighting the conviction until a court in March 2013 ordered him back to jail in Pune. He was asked to surrender within four weeks after the Supreme Court verdict was not in his favour. In between his time in Jail, Sanjay was granted either parole or furlough on various grounds in the last 5 years.
