From arrest to release: A complete, 23-year-long Sanjay Dutt timeline

It was on August 26, 2015, when 56-year-old Sanjay Dutt was last released from jail on a 30-day parole.

Dutt was last spotted at Khar police station sporting a black shirt and new haircut, at a time when the police officials were busy handling the controversial Sheena Bora murder case. It possibly was the last time the actor had to report to a police station.

And Wednesday would possibly be the last time Dutt would spend time in a barrack as he readies himself to walk out of the Yerwada prison after serving a sentence of five years for being in possession of an AK-56 rifle and his connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
