New Delhi: Speaking for the first time since he was released from the Pune jail on bail, actor Sanjay Dutt thanked everyone for the support extended to him. “I will abide by the law and whatever decision the court takes. I want to thank all my fans and the press who have supported me. I love you. Please pray for me,” he said on Thursday afternoon in Mumbai.

Two days of agonising wait later, Dutt finally walked out of Pune’s Yerwada jail early on Thursday morning.

Accompanied by his brother-in-law Kumar Gaurav, friend Yusuf Nalwala and lawyer Satish Maneshinde, Dutt immediately got into a waiting Tata Sumo and left for Pune airport from where he boarded a chartered flight to Mumbai's Santa Cruz airport.

Dressed in a white striped shirt and faded blue jeans, a hassled-looking Dutt hurriedly got into the vehicle without as much as waving to the contingent of journalists waiting outside the jail.

His hair cropped short and beard grown, Dutt carried a plastic bag containing the clothes he wore when he was brought to the jail. He shook hands with the jail guards before being ushered into the vehicle.

Dutt was released at 0530 hrs (IST) - an unusually early hour - to avoid crowds gathered outside the jail since Monday.
