Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt to be released from jail on Feb 27

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is set to be released from jail on February 27 after the Maharashtra government remitted his sentence in a case linked to the deadly 1993 Mumbai bombings.

The Bollywood star was convicted of illegal possesion of weapons and sentenced by the Indian Supreme Court in March 2013 to a five-year term for buying weapons from gangsters accused of orchestrating the bombings.

Of the five-year sentence, the actor had already served 18 months as an under-trial and was required to undergo another 42 months which are now on the verge of completion.
