Salman recollects jail time

Salman Khan recently recalled his time in jail and spoke about the hardships inmates face behind bars. The actor appeared on a streaming reality show to meet his brother, Sohail Khan. A promo from the show has gone viral on social media, showing Salman reflecting on his time in Jodhpur Central Jail.

He told the contestants,  “Many years ago, when I went to jail, we had bars in front of us. In such a small area, there were 50-60 people there. One bathroom, Indian style commode, sometimes there were lizards, water and s*** were filled all the way till here.”

The actor was in Jodhpur Central Jail in Rajasthan during his periods of incarceration. He spent time there across four different occasions between 1998 and 2018 in connection with the blackbuck and chinkara poaching cases. The case involves the illegal hunting of two endangered blackbucks in October 1998 during the filming of Hum Saath-Saath Hain near Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
