Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will appear in a Jodhpur court today, in connection with the Arms Act case registered against him.
The Times of India reported that Khan left Mumbai in the early hours of Thursday morning, and was expected to reach Jodhpur by 9.15 am. After consulting with his lawyers, Khan will head to court to record his statement before the chief judicial magistrate.
The Arms Act case against the actor is an offshoot of the blackbuck poaching incident which took place in October 1998 near Jodhpur, while he was shooting for Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Saath Saath Hain. Salman had been accused of poaching three chinkaras and a blackbuck near Kankani village.
Later, the forest department registered a case under the Arms Act against Khan on 15 October 1998, stating that the licences of the guns used he used for allegedly hunting the animals.
According to The Indian Express, however, Khan has argued that he had applied for the licences to be renewed.
The Arms Act was passed by the Indian parliament in 1959 to curb the use of illegal weapons in the country.
