Bollywood
actor
Sanjay
Dutt,
who
is
out
of
jail
on
a
14-day
furlough,
left
his
home
on
Thursday
back
to
prison.
The
jail
authorities
refused
to
extend
his
leave.
"Our
department
had
asked
the
police
authorities
to
give
us
a
report
on
his
(Dutt's)
extension.
We
wanted
to
know
what
are
the
reasons
sought
by
him
and
how
genuine
they
are.
But
we
have
not
received
any
report
as
yet," a
top
official
from
Maharashtra
home
department
told.
Sanjay
Dutt
convicted
in
the
1993
Mumbai
serial
blasts
case
for
illegally
possessing
an
AK-56
rifle
and
destroying
it,
was
released
on
a
14-day
leave
of
furlough
by
the
Pune's
Yerwada
Central
Jail
authorities
on
December
24,
2014.
Dutt,
while
leaving
his
home,
told
reporters
that
he
had
applied
for
an
extension
of
furlough
on
December
27,
and
that
the
application
is
"still
under
process."
"We
had
requested
for
an
extension
of
furlough
on
December
27
which
is
still
under
process.
Since
the
law
stipulates
that
I
should
surrender
myself
before
authorities
if
I
am
not
granted
an
extension,
I
am
going
to
do
so
now,"
the
actor
said.
Dutt
was
previously
granted
furlough
in
October
2013
for
28
days
on
health
grounds,
followed
by
a
similar
leave
in
December
2013,
to
tend
to
his
"ailing"
wife
Manyata.
A
controversy
had
erupted
when
newspapers
published
photographs
of
Manyata
reportedly
attending
a
film
screening,
thereby
raising
eyebrows
on
the
actor's
claims
as
grounds
for
leave.
Dutt
is
undergoing
the
remainder
of
his
five-year
jail
term
for
possessing
illegal
firearm
that
was
part
of
a
cache
of
weapons
meant
to
be
used
during
the
1993
blasts.
