Mumbai, Feb 25 (IBNS) Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who was jailed in an illegal arms case related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts, was released from Yerwada jail in Pune on Thursday.

The actor has spent 42 months in prison.

He walked free from the jail few days ahead of his actual release date.

His reprieve is said to be on grounds of good behaviour.

Sanjay Dutt was found guilty in 2013 of acquiring illegal weapons from those involved in the 1993 attacks in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed.

He was sentenced to six years in jail in 2007; he served 18 months but then was out on bail, fighting the conviction until a court in March 2013 ordered him back to jail in Pune.
