During his imprisonment, he elder brother passed away. Dattatreya was released on parole to attend the last rites.
Sharing a pic of those days, Dattanna said that he was sent back to jail soon after the last rites were over. Later, the police suggested to his mother that Dattanna would be released if only he gave an undertaking not to participate in political activities. Dattatreyaâs mother refused to do that and said that her son did no wrong. She said he would continue his fight against tyranny. Dattatreya shared this detail while posting a pic of those days.
