The case dates back to 1998 in which the endangered black buck deer was allegedly killed when Salman Khan and his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu, were shooting for a film in the forests near Jodhpur.
Later on, multiple cases were thrust on him for allegedly killing two chinkaras and two blackbucks on three hunts. In 2007, he spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. Salman Khan was earlier acquitted in a couple of cases including a Hit and Run Case.
