Poll doesn't let me vote but yes definitely go to jail and throw the key away.

Sohail Khan hasn't slept much in the last two days. His star-brother Salman Khan is in trouble… yet again. And it looks like serious trouble. Sohail has been in consultation with lawyers all night. “They're competent and they know what they're doing. But they're helpless. With due respects to the law, our lawyers think the five-year sentence is unjust,” he says.

“If it was a three-year sentence, the judge himself could've granted bail. He pronounced his sentence at 1.30 p.m. when the sessions court had already closed. That does seem strange… And now the hearing for the bail has been postponed for tomorrow. I can't understand it.”

Sohail met Salman on Tuesday. “He's okay, he's in good health… And yes, he's eating,” he says. “It's my mom we're worried about. After she heard the sentence she couldn't take it. She was expecting the bail today (Wednesday). Now we don't know how to break the news of the postponement to her. She can't bear the thought of Salmanbhai being in jail.”

The entire Khan clan is under tremendous pressure. “They want to make an example of my brother only because of who he is,” says Sohail. “Why such harsh punishment for him? Do they want to set a precedent? Till date no one has been granted such harsh punishment for similar cases … My brother even went to jail for an accident case. An accident cannot be considered a crime.”

“I know he doesn't speak to the press,” he adds. “But that's the way he is. He doesn't open up to anybody. Does that give anyone the right to hunt him down for offences that are not granted such severe sentences in other cases? Right now it has become a power game. ‘Let's hunt this boy down. Let's bring him down to his knees’.”

“Salman should be treated like an ordinary citizen, right now he is being treated much worse. If he's being made into an example is everyone in a black buck case going to go to prison and is everyone involved in a road accident going to go to jail? If you've sent Salmanbhai to jail, send everybody else involved in similar cases, too.”

Sohail will remain in Jodhpur until further development. “I'm here with my sister,” he says. “Today I was disappointed when the bail please was rejected. But that's okay. Tomorrow is another day. Salmanbhai will survive.”

(i totally agree with sohail)

i woudnt be surprised if this happend to abhishek bachan then salman and i doubt he would eith even have a court hearing or even a jail sentence

just saw on headlines today that salman has gotten bail
salmanbhai zindabad!(remember that from the salman/aish phone conterversy) lol

Has anyone else noted that there is no attempt by Sohail to deny that Salman did it, he just keeps cribbing about how harsh the punishment is. Excuse me, shouldn't you have thought about that before commiting the crime or should I say crimes, since Salman has commited this crime repeatedly. Regarding Salman being sent to jail for an accident, that too is a distortion of the facts. He was sent to jail for killing someone while driving 'drunk'. 'Drunk' being the keyword here. Having an accident is not a crime but having it while you are drunk, certainly is. It is quite clear that the Khan brothers still have no remorse for their actions and if you ask me Salman is still getting of easy considering his crimes, specially that of killing human beings just because he cannot control his liquor. One would have thought that this experience might have taught the Khan brothers a little bit of humility, but nope, the arrogance is still so apparent.

PS: What's with the bail amount --> 'He was given bail on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh and two sureties of Rs 1 lakh each.' I think the amount is absolutely ridiculous for someone like Salman. The bail amount ought to be large enough to be atleast some sort of deterrant for a person not to jump bail.
