A Mumbai court on Wednesday sentenced Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to 5 years in jail, for killing a man in a hit-and-run accident, and injuring others, in the latest twist in the tumultuous career of a hero of India’s silver screen.
The Mumbai court convicted Salman Khan, 49, of culpable homicide on charges that he lost control of his Toyota Landcruiser when driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002, and rammed into a group of people sleeping on a pavement.
However, Salman Khan has already been in prison once. Soon after the mishap on September 28, 2002, in which one person died and four were injured, Salman Khan was arrested and put behind the bars for a few days.
In true blue Salman Khan style, while in Bandra Police Station jail, the actor refused to have home food and returned the tiffin brought by his family.
Instead, Salman Khan ate jail food which was served to all the inmates, police sources said.
As far as driks are concerned, the “cutting chai” served to Salman Khan in jail became his ‘pass time’ as the actor refused to have home made tea either, the sources said.
Of course, not just food and drink, Salman Khan had to share the space in the lock up with petty criminals.
