Salman Khan Indian film star Khan gets bail

An Indian court freed Bollywood star Salman Khan on bail on Friday almost a week after he was arrested and jailed for shooting an endangered gazelle during hunting trips nearly a decade ago.

He walked free on Friday evening, wearing a blue-grey baseball cap, a white shirt and jeans. A crowd of policemen escorted him to a black sports utility vehicle waiting outside the jail. Further away, hundreds of fans cheered for their idol.

He will fly back home to Mumbai, some media reports said.

The court also ordered the actor to deposit a personal bond of 100 000 rupees (about R20 000).
