Ibrahim Moosa Chauhan, jailed for delivering arms to actor Sanjay Dutt at the latter's residence prior to 1993 serial bomb blasts, has withdrawn his plea challenging cancellation of remission in the 10-year sentence awarded to him.

Maharashtra Government told a bench of Justice V K Tahilramani and Anuja Prabhudessai yesterday that Chauhan would be released from prison by March 24.
