Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was sentenced to five-year rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Court on Thursday, is to file a review petition on Friday, a report said. The ‘Munnabhai’ hitmaker has already served 18 months in jail, and if his petition is rejected, he will have to complete the remaining three and a half years of the sentence.
In a statement following the Supreme Court’s verdict, Dutt said, “I still believe in judiciary. My family is with me and I am still strong.”
The Supreme Court’s order entails Dutt to surrender within four weeks from the day of the verdict. During the 1993 serial blasts that rocked the entire city of Mumbai, the actor was found in possession of illegal arms that were subsequently linked to the masterminds behind the bombings.
