Salman Khan has been sentenced to 5 years jail time after he was found guilty in the 2002 hit-and-run case on Wednesday. The news has had a devastating effect on his industry friends and fans across the globe.

While some have kept him in their prayers, there are two popular personalities who are being slammed on Twitter for their outrageous comments in support of the superstar.

Jewellery designer and Susanne Khan's sister Farah Khan Ali and singer Abhijeet's social media posts drew immense flak and have been dubbed as 'insensitive' by many.

While Farah wrote, "A sad day personally for me to know that Salman Khan has been convicted with maximum punishment. @BeingSalmanKhan," Abhijeet posted, "Roads are meant for cars and dogs not for people sleeping on them.. @BeingSalmanKhan is not at fault at all..@arbaazSkhan @sonakshisinha."

Their first tweets were followed by a string of posts, in which they further expressed their opinion on the judgement. However, it didn't go down well with many. Here are some posts in reaction to the fierce views:
