Too much of innocence in one pic. pic.twitter.com/8RvOI4KKQh
Salman Khan didn't kill the black buck. If it were upto Indian Judiciary, they'll say that Katappa didn't kill Bahubali.

While pronouncing Salman's acquittal, the magistrate said the prosecution could not prove the case of possession and use of fire arms with expired license. In the 102-page order, the court did not find him accused in any of the sections filed against him under the Arms Act.
Hailing the decision, defence counsel Saraswat said the court "admitted our arguments that Khan was framed in this case".
Prosecution counsel B S Bhati said that they would appeal against the acquittal in the sessions court after studying the judgement.
