I do feel sorry for the victim and his family and did not say that there should be no punishment. However I feel it should not be maximum.

Salman is genuinely a very good human being and he made a mistake. He did not intentionally want to kill someone & now he has to pay a price

But to put him away for a very long time is not something I would want to happen to him bec he is responsible for the livelihood of so many

It's like penalising a train driver because someone decided to cross the tracks and got killed in the bargain. #salmankhancase

No one should be sleeping on the road or footpath. It is dangerous to do that just like it is dangerous to cross tracks.
