Sanjay Dutt was arrested for the most serious offence ever committed by a movie star. He was one of those accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts that killed more than 250 people.

Dutt was shooting for Aatish in Mauritius when the news broke out that he had links with the underworld and was an accused in the bomb blast case. He was arrested as soon as he reached Mumbai. He spent a year in prison and was released only when Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray intervened.

The trial concluded after 13 long years and Dutt was found guilty under the Arms Act. He was sentenced to six years imprisonment. He spent about three months in jail and was later released on bail.
