Salman Khan was jailed for hunting down an endangered Chinkara deer in the forests of Rajhistan. Salman Khan has had some serious legal troubles during last ten years. On September 28, 2002 he was arrested for rash and negligent driving. He was under the influence of alcohol and his car veered onto a sidewalk outside a bakery in Mumbai. One person who was sleeping on the sidewalk died and three others were injured. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped. However, some legal action in this case appears to be on-going. The Chinkara Hunting case begun in February 2006 when Salman Khan was sentenced to one year imprisonment. Since then Salman has appealed in several courts. Right now his lawyers are trying to get him released on bail.
While Salman is spending sleepless nights in jail the Indian public is debating about Salman being trapped in the case because he is a Muslim. This is a common practice in India where people try to paint things in religious, ethnic and caste system backgrounds. Some people try to get themselves political benefits while other just love to dive in to prove something or the other completely forgetting that the real people behind the issue are human beings with emotions of their own.
