There were mixed comments on whether the actor's celebrity status has hurt his case.
No fan of Salman Khan, but this is the price of being in the public eye. Puru Rajkumar got away with paying Rs 30,000 for the same offence.

Some said that justice has prevailed, and some hoped that the actor gets a second chance.
Now is the time to truly Be Human...
