As soon as a Jodhpur court on Thursday awarded Bollywood actor Salman Khan five years of imprisonment in a case related to blackbuck poaching, he was taken to the Jodhpur Central jail. Apart from five years in jail in the 1998 case, the actor has been imposed a fine of Rs 10,000.
At the Jodhpur Central jail, rape accused Asaram Bapu, murder accused Shambhulal Regar and Malkhan Singh Vishnoi accused in Bhanwari Devi murder case will be Salmans fellow inmates. They all are currently under trial in the same jail.
According to reports, the 52-year-old actor will be lodged in a barracks next to Asarams in the security ward and will not share it with anyone.
Officials said Khan will be treated like any other prisoner and has to follow the jail schedule. The Bajrangi Bhaijan actor will sleep on the floor and get a ceiling fan to beat the heat, they added. The maximum temperature in Jodhpur on Thursday was about 40 degree Celsius.
Khan has already spent some time behind bars in Jodhpur since the three cases against him were registered in 1998 two for poaching chinkaras or Indian gazelles and one for killing the blackbucks.
