Languishing in Central Jail here after hunting a protected animal, Bollywood star Salman Khan on Wednesday turned to God offering prayers in his cell for his early release and his brother Sohail and sister Alivera paying obeisance at dargah of sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer.

After a court here deferred hearing on Khan's plea for bail till tomorrow, Sohail and Alivera, travelled from here to Ajmer where they offered 'Chadar' at the dargah for Salman seeking his early release from jail.

Jail sources said the actor offered namaz inside the cell.

A steady stream of visitors, including Salman's friend and model-turned-actress Katrina Kaif wanting to meet the actor, continued for the second day but none was allowed by jail superintendent M L Chouhan.

Katrina waited in vain for two hours to meet Salman who is in jail for the last three days after being sentenced to seven years imprisonment for poaching.

Chouhan said that "as per norms, I am unable to allow her as only three persons in a fortnight could meet the convicted prisoner and this limit was completed yesterday."

"I can permit only a person having blood relation with the inmate and that too purely on urgency basis," Chouhan said.

One of Salman's NRI friends arrived here and tried to call on him in jail but prison officials turned down his request.

Some Bollywood personalities, including producers and directors, are likely to arrive here soon in a bid to meet him and express soldarity with the beleaguered actor.
