Salman's family 'leaves rest to god'
Mumbai, May 7
The family of Salman Khan, who is
on a two-day interim bail after being sentenced to five years in jail
in the 2002 hit-and-run case, has thanked fans for supporting the
superstar during his difficult time, and they have left all other
proceedings to "god".
The judgment in the high-profile case was pronounced on Wednesday, which turned out to be crucial for the family.
"Today
was a day filled with ups & downs, highs & lows. We leave the
rest to God & hope & pray for the best. Thank you all for being
with us," Salman's sister Arpita tweeted late Wednesday night.
Salman's
family members, including his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail and sisters
Alvira and Arpita, were present at the sessions court here when the
verdict was pronounced.
They were all emotional after Additional
Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande convicted Salman for culpable homicide not
amounting to murder, driving without licence and other offences.
He
was also held guilty of rash and negligent driving when he was behind
the wheel of the Land Cruiser that killed one man and injured four
others in suburban Bandra in September 2002.
