Popular actor is released on bail
From Times Wire Reports
Indian actor Sanjay Dutt walked out of prison on bail early today after 22 days behind bars, a prison official said.
Dutt was released early to avoid crowds gathered since Monday, when India’s Supreme Court ordered his temporary release on a technicality.
The actor was sentenced to six years July 31 for illegal possession of weapons supplied by men convicted of involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts that killed 257 people.
