Sanjay Dutt has been sentenced to 5 years in jail by the Supreme Court today in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. The Supreme Court upheld the actor's conviction but reduced his sentence from 6 years to 5 years in jail. Sanjay, who has already served 18 months in jail, will now have to spend another 3 years and 6 months in jail.
However, Dutt can still file a review petition against the verdict within the next 4 weeks. If he doesn't appeal in the given time period, he will have to surrender before the Bombay High Court and will be sent to jail to serve his sentence.
In his official statement to the media, Sanjay Dutt said, "I have already suffered for 20 years and been in jail for 18 months. If they want me to suffer more I have to be strong. I am heart broken because today along with me, my 3 children and my wife and my family will undergo the punishment. I have always respected the judicial system and will continue to do so, even with tears in my eyes. I am going to complete all my films and won't let anyone down. I am overwhelmed by the support of my fans the industry people, the media and all the well wishers. They have always stood by me and supported me. I know in my heart that I have always been a good human being, respected the system and always been loyal to my country. My family is very emotional right now and I have to be strong for them. I am shattered and in emotional distress. God is great and he will guide me through this."
