Given ‘manual hard work’

PUNE: Actor Sanjay Dutt, sentenced to six-year rigorous imprisonment in 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, was given “manual hard work” at the Yerawada Central Jail but he expressed keenness for painting , official sources said.

Though the nature of the job given to Dutt was not disclosed, the sources said it could be anything under work options available to convicts such as carpentry, textile, painting, bakery, printing press, leather work, farming, powerloom/handloom, etc.

“It is not that a convict serving rigorous imprisonment at Yerawada jail is expected to stick to just one job. He can ask for a change in work as per his inclination and aptitude,” the sources said. — PTI
