Bollywood megastar Salman Khan, who got acquitted in the
1998 poaching case by the Rajasthan High Court in July, this year, has supposedly
slammed a 100 crore defamation case against a news channel, in the Bombay High
Court.
News has it that in a suit filed before a division bench of
the High Court in August, 2016, Salman claimed that a sting operation conducted
by the channel in the 1998 Chinkara poaching case was malicious and derogatory.
He wants the court to restrain the channel from releasing
any part of the video, in which the channel has claimed that witnesses saw Khan
shooting the Chinkara. But, later the witnesses revealed that the video was
doctored. In a previous hearing, the channel told the HC that it has already
destroyed the video and all other related material.
Khan was accused of killing a blackbuck and a chinkara in
two separate incidents at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur on September 26,
1998, and at Ghoda Farms on September 28, 1998 while shooting for Sooraj
Barjatya's family drama, Hum Saath Saath Hain.
