The Jodhpur District & Session’s Court in Rajasthan has dismissed the plea of Rajsthan government which alleged that Bollywood actor Salman Khan had presented a false affidavit in connection with the Arms act. The Centre’s plea was rejected by the lower court.
The court dismissed a plea filed by the Rajasthan government against the actor for alleged submission of a false affidavit related to his arms licence in the court in 2003.
The Bollywood star was arrested in 1998 for hunting two blackbucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur. At that time, a case under Arms Act was registered against him and the court had asked him to submit his arms licence. In 2018, a trial court had convicted Salman and awarded five-year imprisonment to him for the killing of two black bucks during the shooting of the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' in October 1998. The actor had challenged the trial court verdict in the sessions court. Salman's fellow actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre, who were present on the spot in Kankani along with him, have been acquitted.
