"Salman Khan has offered to pay the fines for 400 prison inmates who remain incarcerated despite completing their term. Khan&amp;#039;s charitable foundation Being Human has written to jail authorities offering to help the inmates, who have served their sentence but remain incarcerated because they cannot afford to pay their fines.  &amp;quot;In about 63 jails in [Uttar Pradesh], there are 400 such inmates who have completed their jail term but are still inside because they cannot pay fine due to financial problems,&amp;quot; Vijay Kumar Gupta, IG Jail (Uttar Pradesh), told the Press Trust of India. With the permission of the jail authorities, the Bodyguard star&amp;#039;s foundation will submit Rs 40 lakhs (\u00C2\u00A351,600), freeing approximately 400 inmates from jails in the state.  Convicted criminals are required to pay a fine as well as serving a jail term. Failure to pay the fine may result in an additional jail term. Khan has himself been forced to spend time in jail. In 2002, the 46-year-old actor was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a Mumbai bakery.  The charges against him were later dropped and he was found not guilty. In 2006, Khan was sentenced to  one year in prison for hunting a Chinkara deer. He spent three days in prison and was then granted bail. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
