Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt keenly awaits the verdict to be delivered today of the case that perhaps changed the course of his life.

Dutt was tagged as 'Khalnayak' after police arrested him for alleged involvement in 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai.



Arrested at the time when his tinsel town career was on the upswing, Dutt was charged with possession of AK-47 rifle that had come in the consignment meant for the serial bomb blasts.

1993 proved unforgettable for this son of an illustrious father the late Sunil Dutt , as Dutt spent more than 18 months in jail, while his personal and professional life too went into a great turmoil.

Dutt was in Mauritius shooting his film 'Khalnayak' when he was summoned by police to Mumbai and subsequently placed under arrest on his arrival at Sahar airport. Although the film proved to be a great hit, the tag of 'khalnayak' shadowed Dutt for the years to come.

Dutt reportedly telephoned the then Mumbai police chief, Amarjeet Samra, soon after his named propped up in the probe, claiming that he had no role in the blasts. The top police official asked Dutt to appear before police in that case and clarify his stand.

Dutt arrived from Mauritius, only to be picked up by police at the Sahar airport, and was taken to Mumbai crime branch office where he was grilled for over six hours by the then DCP, Rakesh Maria.

Dutt who still maintained innocence, broke down after he was accosted with the statements of Sameer Hingora and Hanif Kadawala narrating his alleged role in accepting the weapons, sources said.

Dutt’s last release was Anthony Kaun Hai and his next release is scheduled to be Lage Raho Munnabhai .
