Salman and a few other Bollywood stars were accused of poaching blackbucks on the midnight of October 1-2, 1998 during the shooting of Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saath Hain. Two blackbucks, a protected animal under the Wildlife Protection Act, were killed on the outskirts of Kankani village near Jodhpur. Salman was accused of carrying and using illegal arms. He is also alleged to have been carrying arms with expired licence. A police complaint was filed against him on charges of being involved in hunting the protected blackbuck.
When asked about the charges against him, Salman shot back: "I have been falsely implicated. The black buck killing charges on me are completely false. The police officers and the forest department officials have wrongly accused me in this case. The arms were brought in under the instructions of the forest department officials.
