We are all focussing on the symptons - not the root causes.
My sympathies are with Sanjay Dutt - in the scenario which was prevailing during those times it was not unnatural for a misguided youth to try to protect his family.

If he really intended to protect his family with AK-56 assault rifle and grenades then he should have applied officially for a gun license. License is available for revolvers for self defence for Rs 40,000 ,not a big amount for sanjay dutt.

you can kill a cat with a licensed gun - not handle a mob during a riot.

u mean to say every one should have AK56 and grenades because during riot no one is safe whether it is Sanjay Dutt or you and me.
This is not a way, if every one will have same mentality one day India will becomes Afganistan......

there is no evidence that a mob was going to attack him.
if a mob really wanted to attack him, nothing would have saved the dutt family,not even ak-47.

by the way did he publicly announce that he had obtained a ak-47 ? only that way he could have prevented a mob from attacking him. secretly possessing it would not help,because mob would attack him not knowing he had ak-47.
