“Salman Khan is protecting someone for silly emotional reason,” said Simi Garewal.

Mumbai,

Simi Garewal Actress says that Salman Khan is “protecting someone for silly emotional reasons” in the blackbuck poaching case. Simi Garewal’s unverified Twitter handle posted: “The charity, the generosity, etc of Salman Khan is irrelevant here. What is all-important is the fact that he did not pull the trigger. He did not commit the crime. He is protecting someone for silly emotional reasons. Even at a huge cost to himself.”

Of one thing I am dead sure..@BeingSalmanKhan would NEVER EVER harm any animal. He loves them too much. The real culprit should be exposed. 20 years is too long to bear someone else's cross..
