No.. Salman is not a victim.. Although this case is definitely not a Black and White one..
Salman DID hit and run over 4 homeless poor men out of which 1 died and rest were injured, also he was drinking and driving which is against the law.. This is a criminal offense..
However, there were reasons behind his disastrous behavior.. Everyone knows about his heart-broken he was over his affair with Aish.. And after this accident, Salman has done number of charity works (fake or not, pretention or not, he did).. He saved many lives and helped many poor.. He always stood by his friend, he is known to be a man with good heart.. whereas people like SRK, AK (barring his recent SMJ effort) has never wasted even a PENNY on helping others.. So overall we can say Salman is very much colorful personality.. You can't typecast him as right or wrong..
But Indian Judiciary is definitely 100% corrupt.. For Anil Ambani's son with same crime, they closed the case in 2 days with huge compensation.. Drunk truck drivers kill at least 10 people daily in National Highways.. Same run-over cases.. But no one chases them.. Considering the lack of efficiency of our country's law-and-order system, all I can say is Salman got unlucky.. He isn't THAT bad to deserve 5 yrs of jail as punishment whereas with the same crime even TRUCK-Drivers or son-of-famous-businessmen get away with..
One more thing, this is utter failure of our Law system that a transparent case like this takes 10-12 yrs to get a verdict !!!! And also within 2 hrs, the convicted gets a BAIL ?? I am Salman fan, but inspite of that I can say this is sheer mockery .. First they take endless years to process, and then the person gets freed soon.. !! Overall you can say ridiculous Law and Judiciary system !
