Filmmaker
Pritish
Nandy
is
extremely
"sad" for
his
"friend"
Sanjay
Dutt,
who
has
been
sentenced
to
five
years
in
prison
in
the
1993
Mumbai
blasts
case.
He
believes
the
second
jail
term
can
be
detrimental
for
the
actor.
"Sad
for
Sanjay
Dutt.
He
is
paying
for
what
was
an
act
of
folly.
He
is
no
traitor.
He
made
a
mistake.
He
is
paying
for
it.
Hugely.
I
will
be
very
sad
to
see
Sanjay
Dutt
go
back
to
jail...
where
I
used
to
meet
him
years
ago.
A
second
term
will
destroy
the
man," tweeted
Nandy.
The
Supreme
Court
Thursday
upheld
the
death
sentence
of
Yakub
Abdul
Razak
Memon
in
the
1993
Mumbai
blasts
case
and
commuted
the
death
sentence
of
10
others
in
relation
with
the
blasts,
in
which
a
series
of
13
car
bomb
blasts
ripped
across
Mumbai.
The
apex
court
also
upheld
Sanjay's
conviction
under
the
Arms
Act
in
the
terror
attack
for
illegal
possession
of
a
9
mm
pistol
and
an
AK-56
rifle.
Nandy
is
all
for
the
ruling,
which
has
come
20
years
after
the
attack,
but
is
upset
for
his
friend,
with
whom
he
collaborated
on
movies
like
Shabd
and
Kaante.
"The
strange
dichotomies
of
life.
A
fine
Supreme
Court
judgment
on
the
Bombay
blasts.
But
yes,
Sanjay
Dutt
is
my
friend.
I
am
sad
for
him.
And
I
can't
even
meet
Sanjay.
I
am
in
Kolkata," he
added.
