Sanjay Dutt parole release likely after December 21

MUMBAI: Actor Sanjay Dutt is likely to be out on parole only after December 21, said sources.
Dutt, who is serving his five-year sentence after being convicted under the Arms Act for illegal arms’ possession in the 1993 blasts case, was granted parole on December 6.
The reason for his delayed release, say sources, is the non-furnishing of surety. Formalities for his earlier leave had taken little time.His sister had stood surety for him then. This time, formalities for the surety which is likely to be from his brother-in-law, appears to be taking an unduly long time to complete, sources added. Dutt had applied for parole around the time he had sought furlough, a few months ago. He was granted furlough in October for two weeks, which was extended till October 29. Dutt went back to jail on October 30.
