Bollywood star Salman Khan, after long overdue of the ‘1998 black buck killing’ case was sentenced 5 year imprisonment by Jodhpur court on Monday (10 April, 2006). The fact that he has already spent ‘one night out of two in Jail’ has came as a great shock to Bollywood and celebrities, who are considering court judgment ‘too harsh’ for the actor.

Khan who is famous for coming out of court proceedings unharmed was actually pinned down this time due to public holiday following the judgment because of which his lawyers got no chance to move for bail or appeal.

According to sources “even though the police knew about it and had an arrest warrant ready, Salman didn’t get a hint of it”. Yesterday the actor came out of the court muttering “This is a wrong decision”. Khan’s mother Salma Khan after listening the news fell faint yesterday complaining of chest pain. She was soon admitted to Mumbai’s Leelawati Hospital.

Bollywood is in a state of shock as Rs 150 crore of money is riding on Salman across five big-budget productions (Salaam-e-Ishq, Baabul, Partner, God Tussi Great Ho, Jaaneman). The actor’s producers are now saying their prayers and many celebrities are giving their grievances against the judgment. Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt said the court’s decision was way too harsh for the crime committed. (more…)
