Actor Sanjay Dutt will have to spend four more days in prison because of his furlough extension.
It has been reported that he spent extra days out jail when his furlough period ended and a decision on extension of his furlough was pending.The Actor’s furlough ended on January 8 and he was supposed to return to the jail same day. However when he surrendered before jail authorities that day, he was sent back because a request for furlough extension was pending. The request was however denied after 2 days, till then he remained outside the prison.
However, this happened because there was no clear cut guidelines to handle such a situation in place. The State Government of Maharashtra plans to bring out a legislation in the next assembly session to handle such a situation.
A Furlough is a temporary leave of absence granted to prison inmates based on his conduct.
