One of the victim (Mohammed Abdulla Shaikh) of hit-n-run case said, “We heard lots of good things about Salman in our village and in the city that he helps the poor and needy. But he did nothing for us. Sometimes I used to think that he will come to us, try to understand our family problem and provide us with some help. But it remained a fantasy. I believed that all his helping hand stories are imaginary,” Times of India reported.

“The order will not change my life so why does he need to worry about it? Even if I say something against the actor for ruining my life, who cares about it. Initially, I had a strong opinion against action but not now. I don't want him to be punished as it is not going to help me anyway. What we expect is more help from him, for disturbing our lives,” he added.

Initially, Abdulla had the feeling of punishing Salman for ruining the bakery workers lives. But gradually he accepted the reality. “He is big man, we cannot harm him,” he said.

On the other hand, Salman’s lawyer Shrikant Shivde mentioned lots of his charitable work in the court during the last hearing. Shivde said that charity was in the actor’s blood and that over the years, he had spent over Rs 47 crore in charity. “He is a founder of a trust called Being Human. He also supports three schools and has helped facilitate the heart surgery of over 600 children,” Shivde said.
