Sanjay Dutt has been the topic of discussion ever since he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment for illegal possession of a 9mm pistol and an AK-56 assault rifle during the 1993 Mumbai blasts. The actor had already spent 18 months in jail and was booked under TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act).

Even though he was acquitted of TADA-related offences, he was booked for illegal possession of arms. The actor was alleged to have been in possession of arms and grenades for Abu Salem, close associate of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, in 1993.
