Blackbuck Poaching Case: Varun Dhawan speaks up in favour of a convicted Salman Khan

In an unexpected twist yesterday, the Jodhpur Trial Court not only handed 5 years jail term to Salman Khan but the sessions court too pushed the bail hearing plea to the next day forcing Khan to spend a night int he Jodhpur Central Jail. The verdict in the 1998 Blackbuck Poaching Case came as a surprise not just for fans but also for his Bollywood loyalist. One of them being Varun Dhawan. Dhawan took to Twitter late last night and made it clear that he does support Salman.

I know for a fact that Salman bhai and his family have the utmost respect and faith in our judiciary system. @BeingSalmanKhan is one of the strongest and most genuine people I know and I’m sure he will come out of this stronger.

While Salman was spending a night in cell no 106 / ward number 2, a few Bollywood celebs reached Khans Mumbai residence to be with the family.

#SalmanKhan has been given number 106 & is lodged in Ward number 2. He was made to undergo medical test & has no medical issues. He hasn't made any demands. We'll give him jail uniform tomorrow.
