Salman Khan to help free 400 prison inmates in Uttar Pradesh

Salman Khan has offered to pay the fine on behalf of about 400 inmates, who are languishing in jail despite completing their term.

The actor's charitable organistation Being Human has written to jail authorities offering to help inmates who have served their sentence but are still locked up because they cannot pay their fine due to poverty or some other reason.

Jail authorities have sent the letter to the legal section. Following their clearance, a no-objection certificate will be sought from the administration.

With their permission, the Bodyguard star's foundation will submit about Rs 40 lakh thereby freeing approximately 400 inmates from jails in the state.

"In about 63 jails in Uttar Pradesh [ Images ], there are 400 such inmates who have completed their jail term but are still inside because they cannot pay fine due to financial problems," Vijay Kumar Gupta, IG (Uttar Pradesh), informed.

When a convict is sentenced for a crime, he is asked to pay a certain fine along with the jail term. If he is unable to pay the fine, the prisoner may have to serve an additional term.

Salman himself has been involved in a few legal troubles. In 2002, the 46-year-old actor was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a Mumbai [ Images ] bakery. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped and he was found not guilty.

In 2006, Salman was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting a Chinkara but was granted bail after spending three
days in prison.

Aamir Khan is disappointed

Aamir Khan likes to do things differently and always looks out to start a trend. Recently, he was intending to throw a grand launch of his film Talaash where he would have unveiled the Digital Poster of the movie, a first in the industry. But the fire that broke out on his TV show's sets gutted down his plans along with the set!

You can imagine how depressed Aamir Khan could be; apparently, he was more excited about the digital poster than the teaser release. A source said that there are a lot of moving images that will culminate into a still poster. It?s being done for the first time in India. The actor now plans to launch it on the social networking site Facebook that the actor is quite active on. He is always in touch with his fans on FB, so he thought it?s the best way to connect with them through this poster.

The source also claimed that Aamir was very interested to have a big launch as Talaash marks a lot of things in his life. It?s after 10 years that Aamir has reunited with Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani after Dil Chahta Hai. Also Aamir has teamed up with two of his favourite actresses again with whom he?s had the biggest hits in the past ? Kareena Kapoor (3 Idiots) and Rani Mukerji (Ghulam), so naturally everyone was excited about it and planning a big celebration. Well, Aamir, cheer up, dude! Just release the film soon as the surge of audience to the theatres to see it will wipe off all disappointment you had due this mishap!
