Mumbai : Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt was Tuesday sentenced to six years rigorous imprisonment by a special court in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and was taken immediately into custody.
Special judge P.D. Kode disregarded the actor's plea for leniency under the Probation of Offenders Act (PoA) for good behaviour through the last 14 years and refused to extend his bail.
Dutt, who has already served jail for 16 months, had been convicted under the Arms Act for possessing a 9 mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle but absolved of terror charges.
Kode said being in possession of the weapon was an "imminent dangerous act".
