Actor Sanjay Dutt, who has been serving his jail term for possession of weapons during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, has been granted parole of 30 days yet again by the state administration on the grounds of his daughter's nose surgery. The actor had applied for the parole in June due to daughter's ill-health, and is now expected to come out in a day or two.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the parole application has been sanctioned by Pune divisional commissioner two days ago. The 30-day parole is extendable by 60 more days, which means the actor can now be on parole for three months.

Vijay Satbir Sigh, principal secretary, (home) has quoted to the daily, "We have been informed that the Pune divisional commissioner has approved the parole application and Dutt will be out after completing the formalities.”

Since his sentence began in May 2013, Sanjay Dutt has been out of jail for 146 days. In October 2013, Dutt was granted furlough only to be extended by another 14 days. Then in January 2014, he was granted parole for 30 days, which was extended for 60 days. He was again granted furlough of 14 day in December 2014, which was not extended after massive criticism in media.
