Salman Khan case shows VIPs can avoid jail: Kiran Bedi
IANS | May 9, 2015, 01.21 PM IST

The bail given to Bollywood star Salman Khan has given the impression that VIPs and the rich can avoid jail with "best legal aid", former police officer Kiran Bedi said on Friday.

The "general impression" after the Bombay High Court suspended Salman's sentence in the 2002 hit-and-run case "is if u r a VIP, celebrity, privileged, rich and u can access best legal aid, you can avoid jail", tweeted Bedi, now a Bharatiya Janata Party leader.

On Wednesday, a lower court in Mumbai sentenced Salman to five years in prison for running over a man sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai. Just hours later, the Bombay High Court gave the actor two-day interim bail.

On Friday, the high court suspended the sentence itself.

Ugly Truth, Ms Bedi! Perhaps u can do something abt it now since u are in the ruling party!

Judges, bigshot lawyers and even police are basically pimps of VIPs.

If you have money, influence, powerful contacts and underworld connections, you can get away with murder, genocide, rapes, scams and every crime on earth!
