Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt was Tuesday held guilty under the Arms Act by a special court giving out verdicts in the March 1993 serial bombings that killed 257 people here.

But Judge P.D. Kode did not find him guilty of conspiracy in the bombings that were blamed on the Mumbai underworld.

The 47-year-old actor faced charges of possessing an AK-56 rifle, ammunition and hand grenades, which were part of the smuggled arms consignment meant for the bombings and apparently given to him by members of the underworld.
