Life is very, very tough inside the jail: Salman

Bollywood star Salman Khan, who was incarcerated in a chinkara poaching case, said he was "not guilty and did not want to hold his head in shame".

The actor, who reached Mumbai on Friday night after his release from Jodhpur jail, was given a rousing welcome by his fans, who waited all day outside his residence.

Speaking to media later, he said, "I believe in destiny and I am not guilty. Also the six days in jail were not easy. Life is very, very tough there.

"I don't want to blame anybody. Whatever is in my destiny will happen and I will accept it".

However, he said, "Justice will take its own course and I am hundred per cent confidant that I will be out of it (exonerated)".

Stating that his family was his strength and his support system, he said, "I cried on the Rakhi day. It was tough for me.

"I spent most of my time, making paintings in jail, which I would like to auction".

Salman Khan also said that he did not want Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt to go to jail.

Thanking his fans for being supportive to him, he said fans should keep control over their emotions and not loose their mental balance.

He said he had to climb the building compound wall just to avoid the crowd.

Police had a tough time managing the surging crowd and also had to use lathi charge to keep them under control.

After spending six nights behind bars, Bollywood star Salman Khan on Friday walked out of prison after the Rajasthan High Court gave him bail and suspended his five-year sentence awarded for killing an endangered deer nine years back.

Justice H R Panwar ordered the release of the 41-year-old star in the Chinkara poaching case after directing him to furnish a personal bond of Rs one lakh and two surety bonds of Rs 50,000.

Salman was arrested on Saturday last after losing his appeal in the District and Session court of Jodhpur against his five-year sentence in the Chinkara poaching case awarded by the Chief Judicial Magistrate on April 10 last year.

The five-year sentence will remain suspended till the order on the star's revision petition is pronounced.
