Salman Khan convicted: We leave the rest to God, says sister Arpita

Mumbai: A Mumbai sessions court Judge - D.W. Deshpande - held Salman Khan guilty in the 2002 hit-and-run case and sentenced him to 5 years in jail. The verdict left the Bollywood fraternity besides the superstar’s family, friends and fans, in complete dismay. Younger sister of Salman – Arpita Khan Sharma – took to Twitter last evening to thank her brother’s fans for their best wishes and support. She explained that the day was an overwhelming one and that the family will leave the rest to God.

She tweeted:

Today was a day filled with ups & downs, highs & lows.We leave the rest to God & hope & pray for the best.Thank you all for being with us!
