Blackbuck Poaching Case Dismissal: Salman Thanks Fans

In a relief to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, Jodhpur District and Sessions Court on Thursday has dismissed the pleas filed by the Rajasthan state government in a case related to submitting a false affidavit in connection with Arms Act. After receiving a breather, the actor has taken to his social media handle to thanks his fans for all the love, support and concern. Along with the thank you note for the fans, the Dabangg actor has also shared a stunning picture of him.

“To all my fans.. thank u for your love support n concern. Khayal rakho apna n parivaar ka. God bless n loveee u tooo…” reads Salman’s emotional note. This note from Salman has elated his fans.

Salman has appeared before the Jodhpur session court on Thursday, through video conference, for the hearing of his appeal against conviction in the blackbuck poaching case. Salman’s lawyer Hastimal Saraswat told the court that the actor should be forgiven as the affidavit was mistakenly submitted to the court on August 8, 2003.

“The affidavit was mistakenly given on August 8, 2003, as Salman had forgotten that his license was given for renewal because he was too busy. Therefore, he mentioned that the license had gone missing in the court,” Salman’s advocate was quoted as saying to the court during the hearing.

Earlier on 9th Feb 2021 (Tuesday), Salman had apologised to the court for mistakenly submitting a false affidavit in the Jodhpur session court in 2003. This was during his hearing in the case related to the poaching of two blackbucks in Jodhpur in 1998.

It can be noted that Salman Khan was arrested in 1998 for hunting two blackbucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur and at that time, a case under Arms Act was registered against him.
