Filmmaker Subhash Ghai in a recent interview said, "When Sanjay Dutt was arrested I knew he was innocent but was trapped." "I've known [him] ever since he was a kid. I knew him really closely...He wasn't a criminal," he added. In April 1993, Sanjay Dutt was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) and the Arms Act.
