Blackbuck poaching case: Salman Khan to appear in Jodhpur court today
Jodhpur, May 7 (IBNS): Bollywood superstar Salman Khan arrived in Jodhpur on Sunday as he will appear before a court in the city in connection with the blackbuck poaching case.
Khan, who will soon be seen in Bollywood movie Race 3, will appear before the court for the hearing of his application before a sessions judge challenging the trial court order that sentenced him to a five-year jail term in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
The 52-year-old actor was sentenced to five years in jail on Apr 5 for killing two blackbucks in 1998 in Kankani village, near Jodhpur in Rajasthan, during the shooting of a multi-starrer, "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
His co-actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam Kothari and Sonal Bendre, who were in the SUV that the "Dabangg" actor was driving during their alleged late night hunting outing, were, however, acquitted by the Jodhpur sessions court.
He spent two nights in the prison.
Khan was released on Apr 7 after he was granted bail.
