Salman Khan was convicted by a trial court on April 5 for killing the endangered animals in October 1998, when Bollywood movie ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ was being shot in the area. The court had acquitted his four co-actors from the film- Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre.
Salman Khan spent two nights in Jodhpur Central Jail then before obtaining bail. The district and sessions court began the hearing the plea against that conviction a month later. As per provisions of the law, killing blackbucks can lead to imprisonment of up to six years under the Wildlife (Protection) Act.
