Superstar Salman Khan has been acquitted in an 18-year-old
arms act case. On Wednesday, a court in Jodhpur gave him the benefit of doubt
and acquitted him of all charges in the Arms Act case against him in the
alleged blackbuck poaching case.
The superstar's lawyer specified that the court acquitted
him after the prosecution failed to provide evidence and prove charges under
sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act. Salman was accompanied by his sister
Alvira Khan.
A case was registered against Khan in 1998 under the Arms
Act for alleged use and possession of arms with expired license in the poaching
of two blackbucks in Kankani near Jodhpur. The Rajasthan High Court acquitted
him in two cases of poaching of chinkara in July 2016.
