Jodhpur court convicted Salman Khan for five years in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. A penalty of Rs 10,000 has also been levied on him. While the huge crowd of fans gathered outside court awaited a glimpse of their superstar, the actor inside got teared up on learning about his punishment.


Salman was then taken to the central jail in a white gypsy. He had arrived in his own car with bodyguard Shera but left for jail in a police vehicle.

Earlier in the day, other accused in the case - Tabu, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam were acquitted, while the 'Sultan' actor was held in the court.

Sister Alvira Khan who has been by his side for last 20 years during this case and handles everything for him, had also broken down in tears when he was convicted 2 hours ago.

Salman's lawyers are trying to appeal for bail but it is unlikely to happen and he will have to spend the night in jail tonight.
