Salman Khan acquitted in black buck poaching case

July 25, 2016 10:41

The Rajasthan high court has acquitted actor Salman Khan in the blackbuck poaching case.

Salman had appealed before the high court challenging the lower court's verdict that had handed him one and five years' imprisonment, respectively, in the two separate cases of poaching.

The hearing was completed in these cases in the last week of May and the decision was reserved by the high court.

In case, the court maintains the lower court's verdict, he will have to go to Jodhpur central jail once again.

Khan and seven others are accused of killing a blackbuck and chinkara in two separate incidents while shooting for the film Hum Sath Sath Hain.

One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur on September 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms on September 28, 1998.
