Salman's charitable organistation Being Human has written to jail authorities offering to help inmates, who have served their sentence but are still locked up because they cannot pay their fine due to poverty or some other reason.
Jail authorities have sent the letter to the legal section. Following their clearance a no objection certificate will be sought from the administration.
With their permission, the 'Bodyguard' star's foundation will submit about Rs 40 lakhs thereby freeing approximately 400 inmates from jails in the state.
"In about 63 jails in UP there are 400 such inmates who have completed their jail term but are still inside because they cannot pay fine due to financial problems," Vijay Kumar Gupta, IG Jail (UP), told PTI Bhasha.
When a convict is sentenced for a crime he is asked to pay a certain fine alongwith the jail term. If he is unable to pay the fine the prisoner may have to serve an additional term.
Salman himself has been involved in a few legal troubles. In 2002, the 46-year-old actor was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a Mumbai bakery. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped and he was found not guilty.

Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan’s public spat in 2010 is back in talk. Hrithik, 38, has now called for truce, saying that he was wrong.
Ask him if has forgiven Salman for his comments, and the actor, who was in the Capital on Monday to promote his new film, Agneepath, says, “I was wrong there. Instead of choosing a public platform to retaliate, I should have picked up the phone and spoken to him (Salman) directly.”
So is he going to call Sallu now? “No. He is far beyond those things and so am I. Sometimes, you tend to say things in the heat of the moment but all that passes. I am not in the business of having fights.”
Meanwhile, Hrithik has also rubbished rumours about co-directing Krrish 3 with his father Rakesh Roshan. “Co-directing Krrish 3 with dad? That’s ridiculous!” scoffed the superstar

Mumbai: If one goes by what Sanjay Dutt has to say, arch rivals Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are friends again.According to Baba, the duo which has been making news over its enmity for long, has actually buried the hatchet.
The 50 something addressed media persons at the launch of his company ‘Super Fights Promotions Pvt. Ltd’, which happens to be a collaboration with between Sanju and Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra.
Sanjay spoke about Salman-SRK’s friendship when quizzed about the two biggies. He was at his flamboyant self at the event and said that he would like to play referee for Salman and Shah Rukh, if their fans want him to do so! But asserted that all is actually well between the two biggies.
We would love to buy your words Sanju Baba and hope what you have said is true!
