Bollywood star Salman Khan sentenced to 5 year in prison for poaching two endangered blackbuck antelopes.
After a legal battle that lasted nearly 20 years, a prominent Bollywood actor once seen by many as above the law was convicted of poaching two endangered blackbuck antelopes and sentenced to five years in prison. The actor was previously acquitted of two separate poaching cases and of a hit-and-run manslaughter charge in 2015.
The poaching happened in 1998, when Khan and his co-stars were out on a hunting trip in the western state of Rajasthan while filming the blockbuster movie "Hum Saath Saath Hain.” His co-stars in the film were present in court for the verdict but were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Khan’s lawyers are likely to appeal the verdict and apply for bail.
