Justice has been served in INDIA..!! SALMAN KHAN "the actor" is behind bars now..!!

Salman Khan gets 5 years jail in black buck case: Actor lodged in Jodhpur jail; to appeal in higher court on Friday

Bollywood actor Salman Khan was convicted of poaching black bucks in Rajasthan in 1998 under Section 51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 by a Jodhpur court on Thursday. He was sentenced to five years in jail. The other accused in the case, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre, were acquitted after getting the benefit of doubt.

Salman was found guilty of killing black bucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the night of 1 October, 1998, during the shooting of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain.

The actor's case was represented by defence counsel Hastimal Saraswat. The judgment was pronounced by Chief Justice Magistrate Dev Kumar Khatri at a hearing attended by Salman's sisters Alvira and Arpita. The trial of the case was in progress since the last 19 years and the judge had reserved the order after the final arguments on 28 March.

Salman is likely to be housed with self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, who was sent to jail after being convicted of rape, and allegedly received preferential VIP treatment in prison. Another convict housed in the same prison is Rajsamand killer Shambhulal Regar, who, even after being jailed for murdering a Muslim labourer, was making videos from inside the jail. Other inmates include some hardened terrorists from Kashmir who were recently shifted out from Srinagar jail, as per CNN-News18. Sources in Jodhpur Central Jail confirmed that the room lacks all kinds of amenities. There is definitely no cooler or AC and it is just like other simple prison cells.

Legal recourse available to Salman

The options for Salman to get out of serving prison time are limited. According to reports, the police have issued an arrest warrant for the actor and he will be taken into custody soon. However, according to News18, Salman's legal team is ready to appeal to a higher court. If the higher court accepts the appeal, to be heard on Friday, Salman might get bail and probably get back to Mumbai by Thursday.

However, the prosecution said that it is unlikely that Salman will get bail today. Speaking to News18, the prosecution lawyer said the legal team will have to work at a lightning speed if they want to ensure that the actor does not spend a night in the Jodhpur Central Jail. However, it is unlikely that Salman's legal team will be able to get a stay on the order and also manage to get bail for the actor in a couple of hours.

His counsel will have to approach the Rajasthan High Court and get the appeal cleared before the court closes for the day at 5 pm.

A fifth person, Dushyant Singh, a local from the area, has also been acquitted, said Mahipal Bishnoi, the prosecution counsel.

Salman was facing charges under Section 9/51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act. All the actors were in a Gypsy car on the night of 1 October, 1998 that night, with Salman in the driving seat. He spotted a herd of black bucks and killed two of them, the lawyer said.

The prosecution had demanded maximum punishment for the actor which is six years. However, the defence had sought minimum punishment of three years and is trying to get early probation for the actor.

I am personally so happy that this man is behind bars because he deserves that, there was a case of him killing innocent people by car few years back in which he was proved innocent by bribing the court, Everyone knows that he was the one driving the car.

This man is mentally ill and that is shown in his movies. All in all JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED.

THANKYOU :)
