Salman Khan has been sentenced to 5-year jail term in the
1998 Blackbuck Case. The actor will be taken to Jodhpur Central Jail. He will have to shell out Rs 10,000 as penalty. The moment the verdict was pronounced Salman, Arpita and Alvira broke down.
The actor cannot apply for bail today.
Salman Khan, Saif Ali
Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari had reached Jodhpur yesterday for
the verdict of the 1998 Blackbuck Poaching Case.
A Jodhpur trial court eventually convicted the superstar,
while acquitting others.
There are two other accused in the case -- travel agent
Dushyant Singh and Dinesh Gawre, Salman's assistant at the time. Gawre is still
absconding.
It is said that 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 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.
