Here is an append from Hemal Patel(some pages back) which goes into more details at the time. "" All of you pepople crying 'justice is done, justice is done' please read this. I am born and baught up in Mumbai. 1992 riots were unpresidented. Male members of each and every house in mumbai equipped themselves with stones, rods, chilli powder and whatever they could. I remember myself stacking up stones in my balcony. Such was the terror in people's mind without any specific threat.
Sanjay dutt got threats that his sisters would be raped and burned alive, riotors came in big mobs. He had registered compained in bandra police station, and asked for additional police protection but was denied. He saught AK56 for protection of his Family.
I can tell that each and every member posting here would do exactly what he did. Only a powerful weapon like AK56 can offer protection against a rioting mob. He got it via underworld connection which was a crime and for which he already served 1.5 years in jail and 13 years of agony, this is punishement enough. He has not harmed anyone and is not a threat to the society.
Who is going to benefit from his jail time? instead judge could have given him 6 years of social service sentence, that would be much more productive.
This is justice without heart. Its not going to benefit anyone. "" Looking at this, it seems a bit lenient sentence would have been fine. Remember also that Sanjay did not have same threat level as ordinary perso
