However, former police officer and social activist Kiran Bedi welcomed the judgement
Strong message of rule of law thru Salman's case. Judgements come one day, howsoever one may keep the wolf away. It returns..Law of nature..

Others also followed suit and hailed the verdict.
Judgements are not based on whether a person is good or bad. If you've made a mistake, it's only fair you get the punishment. #SalmanVerdict

Salman Khan’s defence lawyers had pleaded for three years of imprisonment and had asked the court to consider Salman’s charity work through Being Human, under which he sponsored heart surgeries of 600 children.However, the Mumbai Sessions Court didn’t pay any heed. Now, it seems that the 49-year-old actor will have to knock at the doors of the High Court.
