Arms case: Bollywood actor Salman Khan appears in court

Published On : 29 Apr 2015


Jodhpur, Apr 29 (PTI) Bollywood actor Salman Khan today appeared in a court here to record his statement in an Arms Act case related to shooting of black bucks.

Khan appeared before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Anupama Bijlani and pleaded innocence, Salman's counsel H M Saraswat said.

"Court gave us time to present our side on May 4," he said.

Salman was accompanied by bodyguard Shera and sister Alvira.

Earlier one of the actor's bouncers had an argument with the police at the entrance of the court when police stopped him from entering the courtroom.

A case had been registered against Khan by the forest department under the Arms Act mentioning that licence of the arms used by Khan during alleged poaching of black bucks at village Kankani near Jodhpur on the intervening night of 1-2 October, 1998, had expired and hence the actor had been using the arms illegally.

Black buck is a protected animal.

On April 23, the Chief Judicial Magistrate had accepted an application moved by Khan's counsel seeking exemption from his appearance in the court on the ground of ill health, and asked him to appear today to record his statement.
