Bollywood actor Salman Khan was on Monday sentenced to five years rigorous imprisonment and sent to the Central Jail in Jodhpur by a local court in connection with the 1998 black buck poaching case.

Earlier in the day, Chief Judicial Magistrate Brijendra Kumar Jain pronounced Salman as guilty along with the watchman of the Ghora farmhouse in Jodhpur where the incident took place.

Four others accused in the case were acquitted.

The CJM, who heard the defence counsel's argument on March 28, had fixed the judgment date for Monday.

Last week on April 7, the CJM rejected Salman's application for summoning a witness Harish Dulani who was missing from the court appearances for many years. Dulani was said to be the main witness in the poaching case, and reportedly retracted his earlier statement that he had seen Salman killing the animal.

Following Dulani's statement to TV news channel, Salman's counsel has moved the application in the CJM court seeking Dulani's fresh statement, which the court rejected.

Salman faces four poaching cases and was earlier sentenced to one-year imprisonment by the same court on February 17 for killing an endangered animal but the sentence was suspended for a month to enable him to appeal.

Seven other accused, including comedian Satish Shah, were acquitted in this case. In other cases, actors Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabbu and Sonali Bendre are co-accused.

though he deservs it but yet i feel sry for him 😭 😭

btw thnx for the info

U r new here..... dont post unrelated topics pls...

omg...five years ...what he did was wrong though

tHNKS 4 INFO..If he is culprit,He has to be punished

ur rite.. but 5 years too long

U r right he should be punished for his mistake, but five years of imprisonment is a hard one for a popular actor.. or is it only because he is a popular actor.. a normal guy, would not have been punished so hard..

Whattsay guys??

omg for 5 yrs i wont b able 2 c his films
will miss him very much 😭

i know wht he did was wrong but 5 years is just too long
anyways this case was in the limelight just because he is a celibrity and now he has to pay to some extent for his celibrity status
feeling really bad for him 😕

yeah.. he is getting this only because he is a celebrity..
HR will miss him.. 😉 and so will all of us..
