I've often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have beside us, unless it's inside a frame.

A day in the life of Sanjay Dutt at Yerwada Jail ....

Yerwada Jail Pune
 It is the inherent nature of all human beings to yearn for freedom, equality and dignity, and they have an equal right to achieve that."

ADG Prison Meera Borwankar with ADG DD Mukesh Sharma
With the above motto in mind the ADG Prisons Meera Borwankar is taking Prison Reforms to the next level at Yerwada Jail Pune. The inmates including Sanjay Datt will perform a music, dance and skit show at the Bal Gandharva Theater at Pune . Doordarshan is the official media partner. The collection from the telecast will be shared with the Prison welfare authorities.

In order to do a good program I had gone to Yerwada Prison last week to do some coverage as to how the inmates with Sanjay Datt are doing rehearsals. In fact my visit was to record/shoot/cover the run up to the main program to make a curtain raiser.

For the first time since Sanjay Dutt's custody at Yerwada Jail I was the only one who could shoot inside the Jail and bring these Pictures.

On 20th Sept 2013. for the first time the public broadcaster DD had telecast this exclusive footage on the News channel . Immediately the pilfering of the footage by the  pvt News channels started and they started telecasting the same . Some TV news channels gave
 credit to DD , others quietly used the footage without betting an eyelid as if they were the ones to bring out this exclusive coverage.
