The designated TADA court on Tuesday convicted actor Sanjay Dutt, finding him guilty under the Arms Act. The court, however, did not find him involved in the 1993 Mumbai blasts conspiracy.

He was found guilty of illegal possession of arms in a notified area. He was in possession of an AK-56 rifle and a 9mm pistol.

However, he was exonerated of the more serious charge of conspiracy in the worst-ever terror attack on the city in which 257 people were killed and several hundred injured.

The minimum sentence for the charges under which Dutt has been found guilty is three years. He has spent almost 18 months in jail as an undertrial.

The 47-year-old actor arrived at the court in Arthur Road along with some of his Bollywood colleagues and family members amid tight security as media persons jostled to catch a glimpse of him.
