Latest News

Actor Salman Khan, convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in a blackbuck poaching case, will not receive any special treatment during his stay in jail, Jodhpur DIG (Prisons) Vikram Singh said today.

Singh added that Khan had made no demands or special requests - including for drinking water.

"Salman Khan has been given number 106 and is lodged in ward number two. He was made to undergo medical test and has no medical issues," said Singh.

The actor will receive his jail uniform tomorrow.

The senior officer said that he did not want the actor to be left alone, even as he referred to Khan as someone "who does not seem easily scared."

"Multiple-layer security has been put up for his ward."

Singh shared that the actor expressed a special affinity for Rajasthan, which, Khan purportedly said, would "not suffer" despite the conviction.

The 52-year-old actor's bail plea hearing is scheduled for tomorrow. His lawyer can meet him in jail any time.

The actors were accused of hunting down the animals in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the intervening night of October 1 and 2, 1998, when they were in the city shooting for the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

Khan had earlier pleaded innocence in the case, claiming before the court that the blackbuck died of "natural causes" and that he was being "framed". 

A Jodhpur trial court today found Khan guilty in a 1998 poaching case, while it acquitted co-accused Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu.

Jodhpur District Presiding Officer Devkumar Khatri pronounced Salman guilty of killing two blackbucks - an endangered species - during a hunting expedition near Jodhpur. A penalty of Rs 10,000 was also levied on him. 

This is the last of the three poaching cases against the actor from 1998 being heard at Jodhpur trial court. He was convicted in two poaching cases by the trial court, only to be acquitted by the Rajasthan high court later.
