Watch: Salman Khan leaves residence to seek bail from sessions court

The Bombay high court on Friday suspended the five-year jail term of actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case, triggering wild celebrations among his fans across the country. The single bench of justice Abhay Thipsay, however, asked the 49-year-old actor to surrender his passport and seek fresh bail from the sessions court which had convicted and sentenced him on Wednesday. He was released for a surety of Rs 25,000. The actor left for the sessions court at around 1.30pm to furnish fresh bail bond as his two-day interim bail period ends on Friday. “We can fix a date in June or July whether he is guilty or not,” the judge said while suspending the sentencing pending a fresh appeal. Khan was not present in court. The star of some of Bollywood's most commercially successful films is accused of running his SUV over five people sleeping on a Mumbai pavement, killing one of them.
