Mumbai: The furlough extension request of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt had been rejected after which Dutt had to surrender to the Yerwada Jail of Pune today.
Reports had claimed that the application seeking an extension in his 14-day long furlough had apparently been rejected.
A probe had been ordered by CM Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government over repeated leaves granted to Sanjay Dutt.
The 55-year-old actor was out on a 14-day furlough during Christmas and New Year, and had applied for an extension, which ended last night.
Sanju baba meanwhile came back home due to lack of coordination between the prison and police authorities on his application seeking an extension of leave of absence.
Now reports had suggested that the application for the extension of furlough had been rejected and he will surrender today.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said that the government will neither favor anyone nor will do any kind of discrimination.
Sanjay Dutt was convicted in 1993 Mumbai blast case by Supreme Court in March 2013.
In December last year, when his wife Manyata Dutt had taken ill, he was granted a month-long break to take care of his two kids, which even got extension due to poor health conditions of Manyata.
He also got a 30 day furlough on grounds of his own bad health in October that year.
Controversy had been sparked due to frequent parole application of Sanjay Dutt under which authorities were too questioned over granting him leave.
