Salman Khan acquitted in 1998 Blackbuck case

The Rajasthan High Court has acquitted Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.

Salman had appealed before the high court challenging the lower court’s verdict that had handed him one and five years’ imprisonment, respectively, in the two separate cases of poaching.

The hearing was completed in these cases in the last week of May and the decision was reserved by the high court.

Khan and seven others were accused of killing a blackbuck and chinkara in two separate incidents while shooting for the film Hum Sath Sath Hain.

One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur on September 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms on September 28, 1998.

  • Finally relief for Salman and his fans after 18 years . It is difficult to say whether Salman was innocent or guilty in this crime . The one thing that really makes me angry is it took 18 years to pronounce the verdict on this case . Salman getting acquitted or convicted should have been done long time back . In 1998 Salman was 32 and now Salman is 50 . Hit and Run Case is still pending in the Supreme Court and we will see whether SC gives a clean chit to Salman or he gets convicted . I hope the court proceedings become more fasttrack and justice should not take 15 to 20 years .

  • Man everybody knows who is the culprit..in his hit and run case he blamed that driver was driving …dont worry iske case pe hi akshay paji jolly llb 2 pe work kr rhe hai…sbka hisab hoga

  • If this decision came against salman, then people would say court has given very good verdict. Jab yehi court sabse payara hota.

  • Money power wins ,salman is the only celebrity who runs over innocent victims on road,kills endangered animals ,insults women and yet walks Scott free,this shows that in India how being rich and influential gives u the power to do any crime and get over it ,shame on salman,this is a defeat and mockery of the judiciary system,he may be a megastar but as a person he is a looser ,no respect for him

  • I really feel pity for those who keep on defending their idol by saying “Many endangered species are being killed in different parts of India, how many cases have been registered “, “Multiple road accidents take place every day, why you should go gaga over Salman’s hit-n-run then” ?

    I mean how one can be so ignorant? Their (celebrities) cases are over-hyped by the media because they are treated as ‘icons’ by their followers and thus, their acts directly leave an impression over the followers mind and thoughts.
    Or else if we go by this logic , SRK should not have punished for Wankhede incident because such incidents take place every day in almost every ‘civilized’ society of our country. But then why such a strict punishment (yes, six years of ban from entering a public place is indeed a strict punishment because it directly infringes the fundamental rights of a person “Freedom of movement -Article 19” ) was imposed on SRK ?
    Reason is simple, his acts have a direct impact on his followers and thus a strict action against him was necessary in order to strengthen the saying “No body is above the law”.

    Also, we appoint these celebrities as brand ambassador for various social causes (e.g. Amitabh for Beti Bachao, Amir for incredible India) for the same reason so that their followers can idolize those principles and incorporate among themselves.
    Else if celebrities and commoner were supposed to be treated equally, then we might have seen “Naveen Aunt” representing the “All India Oppressed and Exploited Women association”, Yuvraj (indicine user not the real one :P) promoting “Save the Village” campaign and Chuha the real coward promoting the “BJP Quit India” campaign.
    But unfortunately, it doesn’t work in that way.

  • Thats why some salman fans are hated by other salman true fans: because they will always support salman even if he is guilty. ..
    Thats why we call them bhaitards. ..

  • Killing endangerd species of country. Stretching the case more than 10 years. Opening NGO’s to recover crime. And court’s final verdict is “That was salman’s driver who killed blackbucks, not salman”
    hahaha. Salman’s total life is worst and waste.
    We will tell our kids the story of salman and SRK in future.
    We will tell them how bad and ugly was salman and how Real human being, greatest soul was SRK.!
    All hail King khan

  • Congrats Salman Bhai!!! We all are celebrating for this. We all know he is guilty and very sorry for what he has done. Haters may tell that he is bad man but he is the best kind hearted man. Reasons –
    # He runs more than 5000 yatimkhanas( places for child to live who don’t have families or parents) all over India !
    #He always ready to help his friends anytime. Govinda, Katrina, Aishwariya, Sooraj Pancholi, Athiya Shetty, Daisy, Zareen Khan, Asin, Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff and many more actors in bollywood who are here due to him. He is the godfather of them.
    #He everyday gives money to poor people in charity work.
    #He denotes money to every kinds of hospitals.
    #He makes even ordinary people actors!
    #He gives money to his friends in industry just to help them
    #He is the only one to meet ordinary and helps them !
    That’s why he is called the man with golden heart. He is very sorry for the black buck case. He had drank and heartbroken when he was driving and hit the man. The rape women comment was just a slip of tongue
    #True Salman Fans

  • Lol. Salman is biggest gawar star of Indian cinema who got support from low educated, ill mannered, criminal minded people.
    Kill endangered species of Country
    Start doing charity showoff to overcome crimes
    stretch the case for more than 10 years.
    Make positive image in gawar people so that they can support him
    and court’s final verdict is Salman is innocent.
    It was his driver Lolman who was driving the car and he also killed animals too.
    We will tell our children a story about this Lolman in future.
    That how he used to do crimes and overacting in his film lol
    And his fans are the most dumb and uneducated, Illogical.

  • I am a big fan of Salman and very happy that he is free now.But if he killed that black buck then he deserves a strict punishment.If he has done the crime then he should be punished. But I don’t know whether he is guilty or not so i can’t say anything.

  • A true Indian can’t mock Indian judicial system and Constitution of India. Only pakis & talibanis are blabbering on court’s verdict.

  • @Xzone,agreed fully.at the end time,all proofs are disguised like miracle.people can see the fishy very clearly.SUPREME COURT is only the hope of justice for peoples now.

  • Those who are hater of salman khan or fan of srk blaming the cerdict of court..height of jealous..they are saying that they know all the matter and the highly educated judges of highcourt are fool..shame on you guys who do not have faith in Indian constitution..a big RIP to such people..

  • According to some mental asylum returned pseudo intellectuals Modi can manipulate court’s verdict and Bhai is out of jail only because of good relationship with Modi! A few simple questions for them…

    Then why couldn’t he save his own ministers like Maya kodnani, babu Bajrangi & Amit Shah???

    Why didn’t he manipulate court’s verdict of recent Uttrakhand & Arunachal matters??

  • 2015: “Salman Khan wasn’t drunk”

    2016: “Bhai didn’t kill the blackbuck”

    2017: “Actually the blackbuck was driving Salman’s car that night”

  • oh.. feeling ashamed of even myself tat criminals like lallu khan are freely roaming .. feeling ashamed!! bad day for indian judiciary !

  • @Queen Khan : Your so called educated & class idol have stole dam water from drought hit village, worked in a movie like Maya Memsaab, Insulted a poor & old security guard, cracks cheap lines in his movies (conjum conjum & breastaking) and made mockery of legend actor like Manoj Kumar. If educated person is like Srk it is better to be less educated & not doing such low grade & cheap stuffs !!!!!!!!

  • Money talks !!! corrupted political and judicial system of India. He was freed because of flying kite with PM, now everyone knows how judicial system works in India. Shame on such judicial system.

  • @xzone : Stop displaying your frustration on every article of Salman. I agree what you said about judicial system but we are no one judge to anyone unless we have witnessed their crimes. But I wonder have you ever done anything for people of Bhopal Gas tragedy or 1993 Mumbai blast or Gujarat 2002 ? Your conscience about Law & Justice comes only when comes to Salman cases but not for common man or any other cases !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hurray !!!!!! Haters gonna Hate !!!!!!!!

    Love you Salman !!!!!!!! You have more prayers from poor n common people than curses from so called class & educated (who does nothing but cry & complain) people. Nothing will happen to this man !!!!!!!!
