“I submitted a letter to the Governor requesting cancellation of bail of convicted Salman Khan for supporting a convict,” said Shelar.

“Very disappointing to see Salman Khan ask for release of Yakub Memon. His (Salman’s) bail should be cancelled on the basis of the support for crime,” he said in a tweet.

“Yakub Memon worked on the mission of mass murder. His sympathy can only come from fellow convict who fails to appreciate mercy shown to him,” Shelar added.

Meanwhile, BJP Yuva Morcha activists are expected to stage protest outside Salman’s residence in suburban Bandra later today.

Salman, who was sentenced to five years in jail by the Sessions Court earlier this year in the hit-and-run case in which one person died, was later granted bail by the Bombay High Court.
