Mumbai, May 8 (IBNS) A fan of actor Salman Khan has allegedly attempted to commit suicide outside the Bombay High Court, where hearing on the bail petition of the 49-year-old superstar was going on.

Reports quoted police as saying that the  fan consumed something unidentified and was taken to Mumbai's JJ hospital.

 He reportedly aid he would like to serve the sentence instead of his hero.

There were protests outside the court where people gathered both in support of Khan and others demanded stringent punishment for him.

Posters carried by some protesters read, "We are the city, we are not dogs," referring to tweets by singer Abhijit triggered public outrage.

Sparing Khan from going to jail immediately, the  Bombay High Court on Friday asked him to execute a fresh bond.

 
A sessions court on Wednesday had sentenced the hero to five years jail convicting him for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
 
The court  decided that Khan was driving his Totyota Land Cruiser while drunk and ran into a group of homeless men sleeping on the footpath outside a bakery in 2002. 
 
The judge said instead of reporting the accident to the police,  Khan "hid" in his home and later tried to get a driver employed by him to take the blame. One person was killed and four injured.
