Pune divisional commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh granted a month's parole to Sanjay Dutt to look after his ailing wife Manyata. Sanjay will be released from Yerawada Central Jail in the next couple of days.
"The parole application was recommended by an ACP in Mumbai Police and the jail superintendent of Yerawada prison. Considering these recommendations, I have approved Dutt's parole for 30 days. The reason for seeking leave was his wife's illness," he said.
This would be third time the actor would come out on parole in the past three months.
Dutt applied for the parole on grounds that his wife is unwell. But on Thursday she was seen at two separate events. She was present at actor Shahid Kapoor's special screening of his latest movie "R...Rajkumar" at a studio in Juhu.
She later attended Krishika Lulla's birthday party.
Dutt (54) had earlier been granted a 14-day medical furlough at the beginning of October, which was extended further by another 14 days on health grounds. He was effectively at his Mumbai home all of October and returned to the prison on October 30.
Dutt was sent to jail in May to serve the remaining 42 months of his five-year sentence after being convicted of possessing illegal firearms in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case.
Having served 18 months in jail as an undertrial, Dutt started his stint in jail May 16 this year and makes paper bags which are sold outside through some NGOs.
