Highlights Salman Khan was sentenced to a five-year jail term in the poaching case

The real culprit should be exposed, said Simi Garewal

The charity, the generosity etc of @BeingSalmanKhan is irrelevant here. What is all-important is the fact that he did NOT pull the trigger! He did NOT commit the crime. He is protecting someone for silly emotional reasons. Even at a HUGE cost to himself. https://t.co/aJLdn129WH — Simi Garewal (@Simi_Garewal) April 6, 2018
