| After two nights in jail, Salman Khan granted bail in blackbuck poaching case | | | Agencies
Jodhpur: After spending two nights in the Jodhpur Central Jail, Bollywood star Salman Khan was on Saturday granted bail in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in which he was proclaimed guilty.
Salman was pronounced guilty in the case on Thursday and sentenced to five years in prison. His legal team appealed for a more lenient punishment and also moved motion for bail but the matter was kept for Friday at first. On Friday, the judge reserved his order for one more day. Even on Saturday, there was some doubt about Salman's release as the judge hearing the bail application had been transferred in a routine process. Judge Ravindra Kumar Joshi however did arrive in court and heard arguments from both sides before granting bail in the post-lunch session.
Legal drama aside, there was much drama outside as well when one of Salman's bodyguards reportedly got into a confrontation with members of the press. He was denied entry into the courthouse but the actor's two sisters - Alvira and Arpita - were allowed inside.The two sisters have registered their presence in court regularly since Thursday when Salman was pronounced guilty and the other accused actors - Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre were acquited. |
