New Delhi : In a case that has brought Bollywood to a standstill in the Salman Khan hit-and-run case, the long pending judgement is finally out.
A Mumbai sessions court has declared the actor guilty in the connection to the 2002 hit-and-run case. The judge has discarded the theory that actor's driver was behind the wheel and has held him guilty of being drunk and driving the car. The actor has been sentenced to five years in jail.
Following the verdict, celebrities have reacted on Twitter.
