IN PICTURES: Salman Khan has gone to jail four times and these old snaps are going viral

Salman Khan’s tryst with court cases!

When we talk about Salman Khan, one thing that instantly pops in our minds is his court cases. The list of cases in the name of the star is huge and currently his Blackbuck Poaching case is in the news. Jodhpur court has ordered five years of imprisonment to the star and the sessions court has not yet granted him bail. So as he spends his days in Jodhpur Central jail, here are the number of times he went behind bars.

1998

The first time he went to jail was in the year 1998 when he got arrested for allegedly killing blackbucks while shooting for 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' in Jodhpur. Yes, the case has been going on since then!

2006

Then it was in the year 2006 that Salman was once again sent to jail in connection with the same case. It was for three days that Salman was lodged in jail. Then he was set free on the payment of a personal bond of 2,00,000 rupees and two bail bonds of 1,00,000 rupees. He had appealed to receive relief from the five-year jail imprisonment that was given to him for killing endangered species of blackbuck. However, it was denied later.

2007

Then again in 2007, Salman was taken into custody and put behind bars. The star, who had reached Jodhpur to surrender himself after sessions court rejected his defence plea, was arrested right after he landed at the airport. A warrant was issued against him and hence, he had flown down to Jodhpur. While interacting with media, he had stated, "A warrant has been apparently issued and as per advice from my lawyers, I am going to Jodhpur to surrender. Nobody has told me to get there, but I am going there as a responsible citizen who abides by the law." He was then granted bail by Rajasthan High Court after a week.

2007

While he was in jail, Alvira, Arbaaz Khan and Katrina Kaif had paid him a visit.

2018

Now years after the crime took place, Salman Khan has once again been awarded with five years imprisonment and is currently spending his days in Jodhpur Central jail.
