In 1998, Salman Khan and his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu, were shooting for a film in the forests near Jodhpur. The Superstar was accused of killing an endangering black buck deer in Rajasthan. Later on, he also faced several cases for allegedly killing two chinkaras and two black bucks on three hunts.
He was sent behind the bars in Jodhpur in 2007 for a week but was later granted bail. He is already acquitted by the Rajasthan High Court in two cases related to the killing of endangered chinkara deer. That verdict has been challenged by the state government before the Supreme Court. Another case involving the alleged poaching of two black bucks is still being heard.
