New Delhi, August 25: Actor Salman Khan, who flew down to Jodhpur with his brother Sohail and lawyer Dipesh Mehta, was arrested immediately after de-boarding the plane.

A non-bailable warrant was issues against the actor.

Salman Khan had earlier told the media that he would be surrendering before the Jodhpur court on Saturday.

Addressing the media before getting into his SUV outside his residence, the actor said, "A warrant has been apparently issued and as per advice from my lawyers, I am going to Jodhpur to surrender."

"Nobody has told me to get there but I am going there as a responsible citizen who abides by the law," he added.

Clad in a white T-shirt, cargo pants and sporting sunglasses, Salman was seen hugging his close relatives before leaving his home.

His brothers Sohail and Arbaaz were seen at the residence in Bandra's Galaxy Apartments and so was sister-in-law Malaika Arora Khan. It was however, not immediately clear as to who would be accompanying Salman to Jodhpur.

He is expected to reach Jodhpur at 1300 hrs and would "directly go to the court."

It is likely that he would immediately taken into custody, as per the court orders. The lawyers would then file a bail application. However, the bail application can only be heard on Monday.

"Though the High Court is shut, I would make efforts for the revision petition to be filed at the court registrar's office today (Saturday) itself so that relief is granted to Salman as soon as possible," Mehta said.
