Salman arrested at Jodhpur airport
Actor Salman Khan was arrested at the Jodhpur airport Saturday, a day after a district court here upheld a five-year jail term for him for hunting an endangered chinkara deer nine years ago, police said.
Salman has been convicted of poaching a chinkara deer at the Ghoda farm near Jodhpur on the night of Sep 28, 1998 while filming Sooraj Barjatya's blockbuster "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
In April last year, Salman had filed an appeal in the district and sessions court against the judgement of the lower court in Jodhpur.
A district and sessions court in Jodhpur Friday dismissed his plea against a five-year jail term and a fine of Rs.25,000 handed by the chief judicial magistrate's court.
The court had found Salman guilty under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Salman had spent three nights in Jodhpur Central Jail before the district and sessions court gave him bail.
