Salman Khan has been convicted by the Jodhpur court in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
Salman was accused of killing two blackbucks on October 2, 1998 in Kankani village in Jodhpur during the shooting of “Hum Saath Saath Hain”.
Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, and Tabu, had been the co-accused in the case.
During the shooting of the film, ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ Salman Khan went on an alleged hunting session with his co-stars in Kankani in the intervening night of October 1-2, 1998.
The killings angered the Bishnoi community, who protect wildlife with a zeal, and they filed a complaint against the actors and a local involved in the shooting.
Meanwhile, the actor Saif Ali Khan courted a controversy upon after landing in the city and was heard threatening his driver after he was surrounded by media people.
In the video clip, Khan is heard telling his driver, “Sheesha upar karo aur reverse kar lo varna padegi ek (put the window up and reverse the car or else you will get slapped)”.
Salman was convicted in one of the cases in 2006 and was sentenced to five years in jail.
While the actor spent a week in jail, the sentence was suspended by the Rajasthan High Court.
The actor was also booked under the Arms Act as the licence of the gun he allegedly used while hunting had expired.
However, the charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence.
The glitz and the glamour of the world of Entertainment are nuanced, dynamic and unpredictable.
