Everybody tries to escape. You would've too. Don't get the moral high ground, and all the meanness. — Abhishek Baxi (@baxiabhishek) May 6, 2015Meanwhile, many used social media to make fun of Salman Bhai by using names of his films to mock the situation. Others celebrated the verdict and praised the judiciary for its unbiased decision and for the five-year sentencing.Great... #SalmanKhan will be in Jail for 5 years. Wonderful Decision. #Bollywood Stop Non sense Bakwas now. Accept the decision & get lost. — Ashish Chandorkar (@JournoFoodie) May 6, 2015Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years .. #SalmanVerdict More money for some HC lawyers now... and then some SC lawyers too... — MediaCrooks (@mediacrooks) May 6, 2015Delighted to see Salman Khan pronounced guilty. A big kick to those who often say " India mein sab kuchh bikta hai " #justice— Arun Purohit (@arunpurohit) May 6, 2015BJP should count Salman Khan's conviction in their "Acche Din promises delivered". #HitnRun #beinghuman #SalmanConvicted #AccheDin — Anurag Agrahari (@anuragg00) May 6, 2015If Salman gets 10 years, he'll enter the jail as a hero and come out as a character artist. #SalmanVerdict — Satish Acharya (@satishacharya) May 6, 2015Presumably his next film post release from prison will be Jail Ho. #SalmanVerdict — asad (@AsNr80) May 6, 2015
