Just like his films, his legal woes too never fail to make it to the headlines. While his recent flick 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is breaking box-office records, actor Salman Khan has landed himself in legal trouble again by defending Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon.





After Salman's tweet in support of Yakub Memon became a debatable topic, lawyer Sushil Kumar Mishra filed a case against him, calling the actor anti-national, according to a report in Bollywoodlife.com.



The lawyer has filed a similar petition against Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi for coming out in support of Yakub Memon.



A case has been filed against Salman and Owaisi under section 124A (sedition) and others of Indian Penal Code.



Defending Yakub Memon, who is seeking mercy from the court, asking the court to stay his death sentence, Salman had tweeted: “Get tiger hang him. Parade him (Yakub Memon) not his brother (Tiger Memon)”.



However, later on facing a backlash on social media over his tweet, the actor retracted his tweet and apologized for the misunderstandings created by his post.





I would like to unconditionally apologise for any misunderstanding I may have created unintentionally. — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) July 26, 2015
