The case was registered against Salman and his co-stars, Sonali Bendre, Saif Ali Khan and Tabu while they shot the iconic film Hum Saath Saath Hai in Kankani village near Jodhpur. Salman in particular was registered for the use of illegal weapons he used to kill two Chinkara, which are endangered species and are protected by the Wildlife Protection Act.
According to reports, a rural court has been assigned the case and will announce the final verdict on the 5th of April. Well, the Bollywood star, currently shooting for the third installment of the Race series in Abu Dhabi looked pretty annoyed when he made his way back to Mumbai airport. Photographs revealed Jacqueline Fernandez smiling along the way while Khan seemed worried about the verdict.
In January 2017, Khan testified and pleaded not guilty. He reportedly said in a statement, “Only the first forensic report of Dr Nepalia saying that the animal died of “natural causes” was true and the rest of the evidence is false”.
