Salman Khan granted bail until Friday

Salman Khan has been granted interim bail for two days after he was sentenced to five years imprisonment earlier today.

DNA India reports that “lawyer Harish Salve argued in the court that no one can be put in jail without proper order. So far, Salman’s lawyer has only recieved operative part of the court order, not the full order. Bombay High Court has subsequently given two days’ interim bail to the superstar”.

Khan was booked under Section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code (rash and negligent driving); 279 (rash driving); 337 (causing minor injuries); 338 (causing major injuries) 427 (negligence) in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case.
