Police officers stand guard outside as Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt leaves his home to surrender before a court in Mumbai, India, Thursday, May 16, 2013
Sanjay Dutt is set to go to prison Thursday May 16,2013 after the Supreme Court last week rejected a petition seeking a review of his earlier jail sentence for firearms offences during the 1993 Mumbai Blasts
Sanjay Dutt went to the court with huge entourage which included the actor's wife Manyata, sister Priya Dutt, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.
A large number of media personnel and onlookers surrounded Sanjay Dutt's car. Police personnel were outnumbered and had a tough time controlling the crowd so that Sanjay Dutt could come out of the car and enter the courtroom.

Sanjay Dutt was also allowed to take with him copies of the Bhagwad Gita, Ramayan and Hanuman Chalisa besides his toiletries including toothpaste, shampoo, slippers, kurta, pyjama and mosquito repellants. However, TADA Judge G A Sanap rejected Dutt's request for an electronic cigarette (Dutt is a chain smoker). Instead, the judge advised him to quit smoking.
Sanjay Dutt spent his first night in Jail in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail on Thursday May 16,2013. He is awaiting an order which decides as to which jail will he be permanently shifted to.
He is most likely to be taken to Pune's Yerwada Jail in a day or two, where he will serve his three-and-a-half-year sentence. He has been allowed home-cooked meals and medicines from home for a month.
