Blackbuck Poaching Case: Salman Khan Will Head To Court On April 1
A Jodhpur court has given a new date to the 18-year-old blackbuck poaching case and now Salman Khan will have to attend court on April 1
Bollywood
superstar Salman Khan will once again head to court in the 1999 blackbuck
poaching case. The next date for the hearing of the case has been now pushed
to April 1.
Earlier on January
27, this year, Salman Khan had pleaded
innocence and had expressed interest in producing evidence in his defense. But
on February 15, Khan’s lawyer refused to produce evidence in his defense saying
after a detailed perusal of the file, they decided there was no need to produce
any evidence in his defence as all of them had already been produced in the
court to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, the Bollywood superstar had told the
court the he never went for poaching due to security reasons during the
shooting of his film.
The case once
again made headlines when lawyer Abha Singh lashed out at Salman earlier this
month.

In an open
declaration, Abha had said that Salman has made a mockery of the Indian
judicial system. He should be tried by the courts for perjury and wasting the
time of the courts. She even blasted Salman by saying if he was actually
innocent then why doesn't he file a counter case. Abha also fired the police
and the legal system. She said that it was now all left for the judiciary
because the police and Salman's defense attorneys have not been conducting the
case in a true manner.
T Salman and some
of his co-stars from Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999) allegedly went on a hunt and
killed an endangered species of blackbuck. This all happened when the crew was
shooting for a segment of the film in Jodhpur. There were mass protests by the
Bishnoi community of the area, and finally a case was lodged against the
actors.
The case has been
going on since then. Let's see if April 1 brings a definitive decision.
