Salman boarded a flight for Jodhpur from the Mumbai domestic airport at 11:30 am and reached Jodhpur by 1 pm.
Addressing the media Salman before leaving for the airport, Salman said, "I came to know that a warrant has been issued to arrest me but there was nothing communicated to me. But as responsible citizen I feel it is my duty to respect law bounded by the judiciary of India. I have full faith in it so I am going to surrender before the Court and thereafter we will decide the further course of action."
There were speculations that Salman was apprehensive of being taken to Jodhpur by train and hence decided to surrender.
Last night Shah Rukh Khan, Suniel Shetty, Boney Kapoor, Chunkey Pandey were among the Bollywood celebrities who visited Salman at his residence.
