In 2006, Khan was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail. He spent six days in Jodhpur jail and then got bail. On August 31, the Rajasthan Court suspended the sentence and ordered Khan not to leave the country. Khan then carried on making films, endorsing brands, hosting shows, romancing women, essentially living the good life and making lots of money both for himself and his producers. On July 25, 2016 the Rajasthan High Court acquitted Khan of all charges because of lack of evidence. In November 11, the Supreme Court issued a notice to Khan on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal. The Supreme Court agreed to fast-track the state government’s petition. And finally today, on April 5, 2018, Khan was convicted for five years and had to spend the night in prison. At the least, he will spend less than 12 hours in prison as his bail hearing is at 10.30 am tomorrow. At most, he will spend a weekend in jail. Unless of course the court rejects his bail application, which seems unlikely. And yes, Jodhpur is quite hot during the day, but the nights are nice and breezy. Khan will survive half a day in prison, which is more than I can say about the dead Black Buck.
