Charity Work

The organization helps underprivileged people in India, focusing on healthcare and education. In 2012, Salman offered to pay to release hundreds of prisoners in Uttar Pradesh who had served their time but couldn't afford to pay legal fines. In 2015, it was announced that Khan and producer Rockline Venkatesh would be donating the profits of their film "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" to struggling farmers across India.

He was charged with culpable homicide, but the charges were dropped, then he was charged again in 2013 and pleaded not guilty. In May 2015, Khan was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison, but his sentence was suspended until his appeal hearing, which was set for July of that year.

Khan was acquitted in December 2015. He had previously been arrested for hunting an endangered species (Chinkara, also known as the Indian gazelle) and poaching a blackbuck, but he was acquitted in both cases in July 2016, nearly two decades after the incidents occurred.
