Dutt at home with family, awaits furlough decision

Mumbai, Jan 9: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who went to Yerawada jail in Pune on the end of his 14-day furlough but did not surrender and returned home Thursday, is at home here with his family, awaiting a decision on his request for its extension, his lawyer said. "The authorities have yet to inform us on his application seeking extension of furlough leave. Till then, he is at home in Mumbai," lawyer Hitesh Jain told IANS. Dutt, 55, who flew to Pune and went up to Yerawada Central Jail, spent a few hours in the vicinity of the prison and later went away without surrendering though his 14-day furlough had ended. The ostensible reason was that a government official had said that it was not necessary for him to go back to jail till a decision was taken on his Dec 27 application for extension of his furlough.
