Former chief scientist of Hyderabad's Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics GV Rao said the animal killed in the Salman Khan poaching case was identified as a blackbuck with the help of DNA sampling. The animal's skin and bones were exhumed after it was buried, and the mammal identified in 1999. Rao deposed in court in December 2015 against Salman.
