Bollywood star Salman Khan, who was incarcerated in a chinkara poaching case, on Saturday said he was “not guilty and did not want to hold his head in shame”.

The actor, who reached Mumbai on Friday night after his release from Jodhpur jail, was given a rousing welcome by his fans who waited all day outside his residence.

Speaking to media later, he said, “I believe in destiny and I am not guilty. Also the six days in jail were not easy. Life is very, very tough there.

“I don’t want to blame anybody. Whatever is in my destiny will happen and I will accept it”.

However, he said “justice will take its own course and I am hundred per cent confident that I will be out of it (exonerated).”

Stating that his family was his strength and his support system, he said: “I cried on the Rakhi day. It was tough for me. I spent most of my time making paintings in jail which I would like to auction.”

Khan also said he did not want Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt to go to jail.

Thanking his fans for their support, he said fans should keep control over their emotions and not lose their mental balance.

He said he had to climb the building compound wall just to avoid the crowd.

Police had a tough time managing the surging crowd and also had to baton-charge to keep the crowd under control.

After spending six nights behind bars, Bollywood star Salman Khan walked out of prison after the Rajasthan High Court gave him bail and suspended his five-year sentence awarded for killing an endangered deer nine years ago.
