Sanjay Dutt steps out of jail
Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt walked out of jail Thursday after being granted interim bail from his six-year sentence for arms possession, an AFP photographer said.
A smiling Dutt shook hands with police officials, hugged a few of them and waved to scores of journalists as he walked out of Yerwada prison in western Pune city.
Dutt was last month sentenced to six years for possessing illegal weapons received from plotters of the 1993 Mumbai bombings, which killed 257 people and injured 800 more.
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered his release on a technicality, as the Mumbai court had failed to provide a copy of its full judgement to Dutt.
