How baljeet parmar cracked sanjay dutt’s link in ’93 blasts case

Veteran crime reporter Baljeet Parmar was an imperative link in the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case. It was his astute observation that eventually led to him break the story of Sanjay Dutt’s

involvement in the same. The journalist, who hasn’t stepped into a cinema hall since more than a decade, is adamant on not watching the film. He believes that the filmmaker, Rajkumar Hirani

is selling Sanjay Dutt’s story, simply because Sanjay Dutt sells. > I very strongly feel that it is a waste of time to discuss merits or > demerits of films like ‘Sanju’ or its
