Upon receiving the news of Manyata’s health, Sanjay was allowed to take another parole and was released from the Yerwada jail in Pune. The ‘Munna Bhai’ actor is serving the remainder of his five-year jail term related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts case at Yerwada jail.

The parole was conveyed to the jail, but the actor took almost two weeks to secure his release. Sanjay was allowed to leave on the grounds that his wife was unwell and needed care.
