Actor-model Katrina Kaif, actor Salman Khan’s sister Alvira and brother Arbaaz Khan arrive at the Central Jail in Jodhpur on Sunday.

JAIPUR: Film actor Salman Khan, jailed on Saturday for poaching an antelope nine years ago, was visited by his kin and a friend at the Jodhpur Central Jail on Sunday.

Salman met his brother Arbaaz Khan, sister Alvira and friend and actor Katrina Kaif between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Salman’s other brother Sohail was with him at the time of his arrest on his arrival at the Jodhpur airport from Mumbai on Saturday.

The actor had come prepared to surrender before the authorities after the District and Sessions Court on Friday confirmed a lower court judgment of five years imprisonment and a fine of Rs.25,000 to him for poaching gazelle in a Jodhpur suburb in September 1998.

Salman’s lawyers have moved an application for bail as well as an appeal in the Rajasthan High Court.
