1993 blasts: Sanjay Dutt's verdict on Tuesday

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been summoned to appear on Tuesday before a TADA court which is likely to deliver its verdict on his alleged role in the 1993 bomb blasts case.
The 46-year-old actor is charged under Section 120-b IPC (conspiracy), Section 3 (3) of TADA (P) act for keeping three AK-56 rifles and ammunition, 9 mm pistol and cartridges and hand grenades which were part of the consignment smuggled by Tiger Memon to set off a series of blasts in Mumbai on March 12, 1993.
The actor is also charged under Section 5 of TADA (P) Act for possessing weapons, Section 6 of the same act (for contravening provisions of other acts) and Section 3 and 7 of the Arms Act.
According to the Central Bureau of Investigation, Abu Salem, Baba Chouhan, Mansoor Ahmed, Samir Hingora and the late Hanif Kadawala had gone to Sanjay's house and delivered weapons including three AK-56 rifles, ammunition and hand grenades.

Earlier, on Monday, a TADA court held Mansoor Ahmed, an aide of Salem guilty of carrying weapons from the actor’s residence to the house of a co-accused. The court accepted Mansoor's confession saying he had carried the weapons on the instructions of Salem.
The court acquitted another person, who was charged with keeping with himself a 9 mm pistol given by the actor to his friends for disposal.
The court also held two customs officers, R K Singh and Mohammed Sultan Sayed, guilty of helping prime conspirator Memon in smuggling arms and RDX used to engineer serial blasts in the city.
