Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will spend another night in Jodhpur Central Jail as a sessions court on Friday reserved its decision on his bail plea for Thursday, his lawyer said.

The actor was on Thursday convicted by the trial court and sentenced to five years in prison in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case.

While convicting Salman, the trial court acquitted his Bollywood colleagues Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre and a local, Dushyant Singh, giving them the "benefit of doubt" for the incident in October 1998.
