(non-cricket): Salman granted bail
« on: April 13, 2006, 08:56:37 AM »
Bollywood actor Salman Khan was granted bail by Jodhpur court on Thursday.

The actor, who was in jail since Monday, after being sentenced to five years imprisonment for killing an endangered animal, was granted bail by district and session judge G S Surana.

Salman was given bail on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh and two sureties of Rs 1 lakh each. His lawyers said they were trying to complete the formalities, so that the actor could be released from jail by Thursday evening.

Salman was not present in the court when the judge granted him bail. He had appeared before the court earlier in the day in connection with his appeal against another poaching case, in which he has been sentenced to one year imprisonment. He was later sent to the jail.

The actor's brother Suhail Khan, sister Alvira, his friend Katrina Kaif, besides a number of Bollywood personalities including Govinda, David Dhawan and Sajiid Nadiadwala were present in the court.

A large number of Salman's fans and supporters had gathered outside the court since Thursday morning, shouting slogans in his support. Police had a tough time controlling the jubiliant fans, as the news of his being granted bail came out. Police had to resort to a mild lathi charge to control them.
