PUNE, 21 November 2007 — Yerawada Central Prison authorities turned down a request yesterday by Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar to meet actor Sanjay Dutt who is currently in prison for illegally possessing arms. A senior jail official told Arab News that authorities made the decision as Dutt had already had his monthly quota of visitors.
Shoaib, better known as the Rawalpindi Express for his fast bowling, had expressed a desire to meet Dutt in prison, stating that he was a huge fan of the jailed actor.
Shoaib who is touring India with the Pakistani cricket team expressed disappointment at not being allowed to meet Dutt but stated that he would try again on his next trip to India.
