'Hum Sath Sath Hai' actor Salman Khan, who was recently sentenced to five years of imprisonment in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, faces warning to his life from prisoners in Jodhpur central jail, his lawyer claimed on today according to the reports. 

Speaking to the media post a sessions court's verdict in Jodhpur, Salman's lawyer told that he will appeal for suspension of sentence to the Sessions Court judge and inform the court about the threats Salman Khan has received from Jail.

In January, Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi of Rajasthan has issued a death threat to Salman Khan, saying the Bollywood actor will be killed in Jodhpur.

"Salman Khan will be killed here, in Jodhpur... Then he will come to know about our real identity," was the words of Bishnoi to media persons.

Not only this but Bishnoi's death threat to Salman was linked with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. It was the Bishnoi community which had brought up the black buck hunting case, and ever since the community considers the Bollywood actor a "villain".

Members of Bishnoi community also burst crackers and celebrated the conviction of Salman Khan in the case.
