While on the one hand I feel that the sentence is harsh thanks to the media hype that was created, on the other hand I feel it was important to make an example of Sanjay Dutt. After all, he did lot of foolish things which he shouldn't have and like everybody else he should pay a price for that. Maybe, if this wouldn't have been such a high profile case, he could have got away with a lighter sentence but frankly I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Too bad for Sanjay Dutt, but then people have gone through worse for lesser crime.
