Salman Khan

An Indian Court has rejected an appeal by Bollywood star Salman Khan against a five-year prison sentence for a 1998 poaching case on Friday. This verdict will send the actor to jail.

The 2006 court ruling which has sentenced him to jail for poaching a chinkara (an endangered species of Gazelle) while shooing a film in Rajasthan state. Khan filed an appeal against the sentence.

This wasn’t his only conviction. Khan was convicted in 2006 for killing protected black buck antelopes and given a one-year prison sentence. He was granted bail while appealing that conviction.

Salman Khan wasn’t present when the verdict was announced. His lawyer has said, “His hotel room was booked but he couldn’t get a flight and was therefore held back,”

It is not known when Salman will be taken into custody. Prosecution lawyer Mahipal Bishnoi, speaking to a local news channel has said, ““Salman’s Khan’s advocate will now have to decide when he surrenders, I think he might surrender on Monday.”
