Popular Bollywood star Salman Khan was today sentenced to five years in prison for killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run in Mumbai in 2002. He hit 5 homeless people, killing one and injuring 3 of them. Prosecutors said he was drunk at the time of the crash and had just left a bar.
His driver claimed in court last month that he had been the one behind the wheels and that the accident occurred after a tyre burst but a judge in Mumbai court today ruled that Salman was the one driving and not his driver after someone in his security team contradicted his driver's claims. Salman was sentenced to five years in prison and was immediately taken into custody.
His family immediately went to a Mumbai high court to seek bail. Salman's lawyers said they plan to appeal the sentence. Meaning that the case will be in court for years.
The prosecution is now set to move a perjury application against Salman Khan's driver for giving false testimony in court.
Salman Khan had left the shooting of a movie midway to attend the court hearing. The movie will have to be put on hold since he's in custody. The 49year old actor who has featured in over 80 Indian movies is said to be worth about $40million.
Dnt know him
ReplyDeleteThen u don't watch Indian movies.
DeleteOKORO UPGRADED**
So sad Mi man
DeleteOh! Handsome dude wil hav to b in jail for good five years. Serves him right.
DeleteOh so sad!! One of my bollywood favs
DeleteLol Linda, Salman Khan is not worth 40millions Ohh, according to Forbes India, he made 261cr ($77millions) last year, so how can someone make $77millions in a year and be worth $40millions?? He been acting for 27yrs and he have a lot of endosments. he reported worth $200millions not $40million, and about the case....The ProsecutorS sucks big time and Salman will definitely get a bail.
DeleteI'm a big Bollywood fan, I watch more Bollywood movies than Hollywood or Nollywood,
Love Salman and praying for him and his family.
@me very true , salman is one of the top 3 not even 5 most popular actors in Bollywood. So sad dis case is like dis. But he is worth way more dan 40millon.
DeleteEnjoy your time in jail. Train and have 6packs. Lindaobserve
ReplyDeleteChoi! My very own salman ! With his sexy 6pacs
ReplyDeleteMs linda na 2012 or 2002... Which year we go collect nau..... Na wao
ReplyDeleteIt happen September 28 2002.
DeleteI knw cus I'm the biggest fan Bollywood fan
wow;
ReplyDeleteso sad
l used 2 have a girly crush on him when he was younger...
Oh no not my salman!
ReplyDeleteI actually thought he would get away with it considering his family name and status.
He has since reformed from his bad boy imagine back then (he dated aishwarya rai bachnaan
And Katrina kaif
DeleteOh no! My secret crush, why na??? Didn't know he was dis old o! Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteMay the deceased rest in peace and justice rendered to his family.
ReplyDeleteFine guy
ReplyDeleteHe also used to beat aishwarya back then. But he has changed. He does a lot for the Indian society with his BEING HUMAN foundation. Ehh yaa.
ReplyDeleteSalman bai... I almost doubt he would be allowed To spend 5 years in jail considering his family status.
But then some high profile Bollywood stars have ended up doing time sha (ie that bald looking guy in agneepath movie)
Please, Sanjay Dutta spents more time at his home than jail. In India if you re jailed, and you have important family activities coming up, you can get leave from prison and attend that event, so Sanjay Dutta has definitely abuse that, He have been granted leave for over 10 times since he was in 2013.
DeleteAnd as for Aishwarya Rai, she said Salman Khan beat her but she later changed her story.
And yep, Salman Khan is definitely a changed man now, that why he's loved by millions of people
Abeg o!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteI like dis guy
Its a pity...naija learn frm dis
ReplyDeleteOh No!one of my best Indian hommie!

ReplyDeleteA bit more personal information in this than the article I read before.
ReplyDeleteOn another note: We make fun of Uche Jumbo, Nkem Owoh and their counterparts of playing the parts of teenagers even though they are WAY old, while this guy here stills plays college students, teenaged boys and whatnot! LOL guess that is one thing Bollywood and Nollywood have in common.
OH NO!IT CANT B!IVE ALWAWYS DREAMT OF MEETING HIM N GIVING HIM A KISS,NOW TELL ME HOW AM GOING TO KISS AN XCONVICT.#TEARS#

ReplyDeleteIf he's guilty, then the law has finally caught up with him. Justice can only be delayed, but never denied.

ReplyDeleteAm a fan,so they should not send him to jail pls
ReplyDeleteCan't believe my Salman is going to jail. I adore him so so much
ReplyDeleteMy guy, I so much love his movies. Handsome dude *Wink*
ReplyDeleteJust FIVE years?? For crying out loud he killed someone and injured several others and got just FIVE YEARS?? That's just crazy. Now his family is gonna appeal d case and he's eventually gonna get 2mins of community service(if they do that in india). But then again if it was naija the case prolly won't even get 2 court.
ReplyDeleteAm sure he ll escape from jail.This actor get powerrr!winks
ReplyDeleteTrouble has always followed him. Jail may be the best place for him to reflect and get closer to his creator, may be a blessing in disguise.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Jail ke?! Na wa o....
ReplyDeleteSo happy dt ppl actually watch bollywood movies lik dis... tot I was d only 1 ooo
ReplyDeleteHe should also be made to pay family support to the family of the dead.
