Salman Khan's lawyer Anand Desai says the judgment in the blackbuck case came as a surprise. He said the acquittal of the four others in the case means Salman was out alone hunting in the night in Jodhpur. The prosecution had asked for six years, the maximum punishment in the case, saying Salman was a habitual offender.

Dressed in a black shirt with sleeves rolled up and jeans, the actor will be spending the night in jail. His manager and Shera, his bodyguard, are now taking supplies to the Jodhpur Central Jail where the actor is lodged to make his stay a little comfortable. 

The bail hearing is at 10:30 am tomorrow.

Salman also had a jail stint in Mumbai when he was also involved in a hit and run. His white Toyota Land Cruiser allegedly crashed into American Express Bakery at Hill Road at Bandra in Mumbai, killing one person and injuring four on September 28, 2002. He was acquitted in the case but the Maharashtra government has filed an appeal.
