Black Buck Hunting

The Rajasthan High Court Monday issued notices to film stars Saif Ali Khan, Neelam Kothari, Sonali Bendre and Tabbu on an appeal by the state government, challenging their acquittal by a trial court in a case of hunting two black bucks in 1998.

Acting on a tip-off, the police raided a hideout in Kharpa village last evening and arrested the man, identified as Farooq, for killing the endangered animal in a forest area, Kannod police station in-charge Vishwadeep Singh Parihar said.

Actor Salman Khan had to stop his film shoot in Mumbai on Tuesday and was escorted home by the police after reports that some armed men had entered the sets of his film "Race 3".

Movie star Salman Khan, questioned in a Rajasthan court today on the alleged killing of blackbuck deer during a film shoot 19 years ago, declared, "I am innocent". The 51-year-old said he had been "falsely implicated", testifying in the presence of his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam.

Movie star Salman Khan was given the benefit of doubt today by a court in Rajasthan's Jodhpur, which held him "not guilty" of keeping an unlicensed weapon and using it during an alleged deer hunt in 1998. He had been charged under the Arms Act as part of several cases linked to the poaching of blackbuck.

The Honourable PM in making the announcement himself in his original Aaj Kuch Toofani Kartey Hai style, put in the shade Salman Khan, the King of Bollywood and archetypal Bad Boy. Step back, Chulbul Pandey -I will show you how to really hunt down black bucks!

To actor Salman Khan's plea that he has the "right to travel" and is facing problems in getting a United Kingdom visa, the Supreme Court dryly observed today, "It's your hardship not the court's."
