Salman
Khan
has
offered
to
pay
the
fine
on
behalf
of
about
400
inmates
who
are
still
in
jail
despite
completing
their
term.
Salman
Khan's
charitable
organisation
'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
lakhs
thereby
freeing
approximately
400
inmates
from
jails
in
the
state.
Speaking
to
Bhasha
from
PTI,
Vijay
Kumar
Gupta,
IG
(UP)
said,
“In
about
63
jails
in
UP
there
are
400
such
inmates
who
have
completed
their
jail
term
but
are
still
inside
because
they
cannot
pay
fine
due
to
financial
problems."
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
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.
