Law Minister H R Bhardwaj, on whom Sanjay Dutt is suspected to have carried out a sting operation, on Thursday said the actor had met him a few days back to seek his "blessings" and denied issuing any threat as "we treat him like our family member".

Dutt, on his part, refrained from speaking further on the issue, a day after claiming that he had conducted the sting operation on "a union minister".
