Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who was on a leave of furlough, returned to Pune's Yerawada Jail on Wednesday to serve his remaining jail term in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
The actor, imprisoned at Pune's Yerawada Jail, was released on furlough for 14 days on October 1.
Later, he sought an extension which was granted to him for another fortnight.
