Just months after he was convicted in the 2002 hit-and-run case, Salman Khan was on Thursday acquitted of all charges by the Bombay High Court. One person was killed and four others were injured in the incident.

The high court overturned a lower court’s order saying that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Salman.

When he was sentenced to five years in jail in May, it seemed like one of those rare instances when a popular celebrity would have ended up behind bars for a crime. But then Salman’s hardly the first to get away.

Here are some Bollywood celebrities who were arrested on various charges

1. Sanjay Dutt

The actor was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act in April 1993, for illegal possession of a 9mm pistol and an AK-56 assault rifle.

While Dutt remained imprisoned for 18 months in 1993, it was not the first time the actor had been arrested. He had earlier spent five months in prison in 1982 in a drug-related case. A TADA court in 2007 sentenced Dutt to six years rigorous imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. However, the Supreme Court granted him bail on November 27, 2007.

However, the apex court in March 2013 upheld the conviction of the Bollywood star for offences under the Arms Act and sentenced him to five years imprisonment. The 18 months he served earlier was to be deducted from his sentence. Dutt has been in Yerawada jail in Pune and is likely to be released from jail next year.

2. Shiney Ahuja

The 42-year-old actor was accused of rape in June 2009 by his maid. While police arrested the actor, Ahuja maintained he had consensual sex with his 18-year-old maid.

When the trial began, the maid retracted her allegation of rape. But the trial court sentenced Ahuja to seven years rigorous imprisonment on March 30, 2011 after refusing to accept the retraction and relying on circumstantial evidence.

Ahuja appealed against his conviction in the Bombay High Court which stayed his sentence. The matter is still pending with the court.

3. Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan and two friends were accused of assaulting a businessman, Iqbal Mir Sharma, after an argument at the Wasabi Restaurant in Taj Hotel in Colaba on February 22, 2012.

Saif was accompanied by his wife and actor Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karishma Kapoor, Malaika Arora Khan, Amrita Arora and some male friends at the time of the incident. According to police, when Sharma protested the raucous chatter of the actor and his friends, Saif allegedly threatened them and subsequently punched Sharma in the nose, fracturing it.

While Khan and his two friends were arrested following a complaint, they were released on bail. The court had framed charges against the trio under sections 325 (assault) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code. However, they pleaded not guilty.

In June this year, a local court referred the assault case for mediation, to which both the parties responded positively.

4. Puru Raajkumar

Son of veteran Bollywood actor Raaj Kumar, Puru Raajkumar was also involved in a hit and run case. The incident took place in 1993 and Puru was accused of running over 8 people in suburban Bandra, leaving three dead.

5. Monica Bedi

She was also convicted in India for procuring a passport under a fictitious name. In November 2010, the Supreme Court of India upheld her conviction but reduced the jail term allowing her to walk free since she had already spent that much time in jail.

6. Salman Khan

Salman’s is also accused of poaching three endangered chinkaras and a black buck near Jodhpur in September-October 1998 while shooting for the film Hum Saath Saath Hain.

While the forest department registered a case under the Arms Act alleging the licenses of the guns had expired, Khan has argued he had applied for a renewal.

In February 2006, Khan was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting the Chinkara but the sentence was stayed by a higher court. In April of the same year, he was handed a five-year jail term and remanded to Jodhpur jail for three days, after which he got bail.

Salman has filed appeals against the convictions in the poaching cases.
