Salman Khan In Trouble Again For Blackbuck Poaching Case!

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was acquitted by the Rajasthan High Court in the poaching case on the grounds that the prosecution failed to prove charges and the evidence was too thin for conviction, might have some fresh trouble on his plate now.

We have learned that the Rajasthan government is planning to move the Supreme Court against the acquittal and that a special leave petition will be filed at the Supreme Court after the Diwali vacations. Salman had filed an appeal 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. Besides Salman Khan, actors Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam were also charged in the poaching case. In 2007, Salman was sentenced to five years in prison by the Rajasthan High Court for hunting a blackbuck during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain. He spent six days in Jodhpur Central Jail before his sentence was suspended. Later, the High Court dropped charges under Arms Act against him on his appeal. In December 2012, the High Court had revised the charges against the actor and Salman was charged under the Wildlife Protection Act.

On the Bollywood front, Salman will be next seen in Kabir Khan’s ‘Tubelight’, which is set against the backdrop of the Indo-China war.
