Salman Khan gets bail in Blackbuck case

In what will be a major relief to Salman Khan, the Jodhpur sessions court on Saturday granted bail to the Bollywood actor in the blackbuck poaching case of 1998 with two bonds of Rs 50,000 each. Jodhpur District and Sessions Court Judge Ravindra Kumar Joshi had reserved his judgment until Saturday after hearing Salman’s plea on Friday.

Salman Khan was convicted killing two blackbucks, an endangered species, 19 years ago while shooting for the film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’, and sentenced him to five years in jail on Thursday.
