The day before his release was a normal one for Sanjay Dutt at the Yerwada Jail in Pune. On Wednesday morning, the actor had asked for a needle and thread to sew his jail uniform that had a rip. It was also his last day at the prison radio station where he would entertain his listeners (fellow inmates), by reciting film dialogues and taking song requests.
The programme was titled Aap Ki Farmaish and on his last day, it was quite a special moment when Sanjay played the super hit song Chitthi Aayi Hai from his own film Naam.
On Thursday morning, by 8.30 the actor completed all the paperwork and stepped out of the jail at last. We followed his trail till the time of going to press. Here are a few shots of Sanju baba’s halts through the day.
8:30 am:
Dutt steps out of Yerwada Jail, Pune, and is greeted by wife Manyata.
10 am:
Reaches Pune airport where he meets Raju Hirani and they board a chartered flight to Mumbai
11 am:
Arrives at the Mumbai airport, amidst high security. He is greeted there by good friend Bunty Walia. Salman Khan reportedly sent four bodyguards to ensure Sanju’s safety.
Around 11:30:
Arrives at Siddhivinayak temple in Dadar. The temple authorities had ensured he got his private time to pray. Devotees were asked to vacate the premises. There was some chaos when the police got into a heated argument with media, and it soon spiralled out of control as the police took recourse to lathi charge. Sanjay, however, looked peaceful and happy and waved at his fans who kept following him throughout.
Around 12:30:
From Siddhivinayak, he headed to Bada Qabrastan accompanied by Bunty Walia. There he paid his respects at his mother Nargis’ grave. That was his last stop before he headed towards his Bandra home where a horde of fans were waiting to welcome the actor
