Boliwood star Salman Khan Temporarily Freed On Bail after conviction for homicide

Bollywood star Salman Khan’s sentence for a hit-and-run homicide conviction has been suspended by a Mumbai high court in Indian, pending his appeal.

Khan who was convicted on Wednesday by a lower court of culpable homicide and sentenced to five years in prison for killing Noor Ullah Khan by driving over him in 2002 as he slept on a pavement and injuring four others, has now been released on extended bail with a final appeal hearing due in July.

During his trial, Khan argued his driver had been behind the wheel, but the judge said it was the actor who had been driving, under the influence of alcohol.
Reports say one of his fans, Mr Kundu offered to be jailed in place of the actor but was taken away by the police.

After his conviction on Wednesday, Khan – who had faced a possible 10-year jail term – approached the high court and was given interim bail for two days, with many expecting him to be jailed on Friday but instead, he was given an extended bail by the court till July when he’ll appeal.

While Khan’s friends, colleagues and fans celebrated outside his home on Friday, others have called for him to be treated like any other citizen of the country who had committed a crime.

Meet The 4 Yr Old Dog That Swallowed Nearly 2 Dozens Of Bullet

Meet Benno,a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois dog that outdid himself by consuming nearly two dozen of bullets.

Benno’s Owner Larry Brassfield has this to say about the incident.

“He acted like nothing was wrong until he threw up,”

I later noticed that about 308-caliber rounds were missing and I rushed Benno to a veterinarian, where x-rays revealed a small arsenal in the animal’s stomach in the late April incident.

My first concern was not an explosion but poisoning, said veterinarian Dr. Sarah Shelton, who feared Benno’s stomach acids would attack the metal to fatal effect.

Shelton removed 16 cartridges from Benno’s stomach and left two in his esophagus rather than prolong the two-hour surgery, correctly calculating that the animal would soon expel them. In all, the dog had eaten 23 rounds. She said Benno’s prognosis is “excellent.”

19 Yr Old Girl Dies Due To Excessive Consumption Of Chewing Gum

Samantha Jenkins, 19, who was a shopworker and hails from South Wales died in a hospital days after having a violent seizure owing to the eruption of the gum in her stomach. Although she died in her mother’s arms on the 3rd of June, 2011, a new inquest has heard that she may have died from excessive amounts of chewing gum in her stomach.

It was gathered that doctors found large lumps of chewing gum in her stomach which prevented her body from absorbing the vital minerals it needs.

Before she died, Jenkins was said to have been eating at least 14 sticks of mint flavoured chewing gum daily.

The coroner recorded a narrative verdict. Colin Phillips said: “Sam had normal eating habits but did chew gum to excess. Sam’s death was due to complications arising from convulsions, due to electrolyte imbalance, due to malabsorption. Excessive consumption of chewing gum may have played a role in inducing this lack of minerals and mineral depletion.”
She is survived by her mother, stepfather and five siblings.
