Sanjay Dutt to be moved to Pune's Yerawada jail

Actor Sanjay Dutt will be shifted to Yerawada Jail near Pune from Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai after he withdrew his application to be kept in a prison in Mumbai.

Inspector General (Prisons) Satish Mathur said the actor, given a six-year jail term in the 1993 blasts case, would be taken to Yerawada Jail like many other convicts in the same case but did not specify when he would be shifted.

Dutt was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for six years on Tuesday by a special court in Mumbai after being convicted for illegally possessing an AK-56 rifle and a 9mm pistol.
