Just a couple of days after he finished shooting for his last Bollywood film, PK , Sanjay Dutt returned to jail.
In May , the year-old Hindi film actor was put behind bars for illegal possession of arms in connection with the Mumbai serial blasts case. After a year trial, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. Dutt had already served some part of his term earlier. He had 42 more months to go. Although U T Pawar, superintendent of Yerwada jail, denied that Dutt was extended any special treatment, the actor was out on either parole or furlough for as many as days in the last three-and-a-half years.
And Wednesday would possibly be the last time Dutt would spend time in a barrack as he readies himself to walk out of the Yerwada prison after serving a sentence of five years for being in possession of an AK rifle and his connection with the Mumbai blasts.

Sanjay Dutt will be released on Thursday morning after serving his sentence for his connection with the Mumbai blasts case. Here is a complete timeline of his brushes with the law. Meanwhile, there is intense interest in the media about his life inside the jail. Dutt lived in a 8x10ft 2. He had a sq ft garden in front of his cell, where he was allowed to stroll under the watchful eyes of four guards. According to a former fellow inmate, the actor had been resigned to his fate of the unavoidable jail time, but knew he could be released early if he behaved well.
He was lodged in a high-security cell next to the "faansi" ward, which houses prisoners on death row, and was generally not allowed to interact with other prisoners owing to security concerns. If he walked to the common area, he would be accompanied by four policemen. If he interacted with other prisoners, the conversations would be listened into.
He used to read extensively, mainly Hindi literature from Munshi Premchand. The former inmate added that the actor would "remain immersed in newspapers". In the common area, we had one TV set for every prisoners. But since Baba's cell was a high-security one, he did not have that luxury," he added. Hitesh Jain, Dutt's lawyer, said that the actor also developed a "spiritual inclination" during his time in the prison.
These are the things which keep a person encouraged, and provide strength to pass the whole term," said Jain.
