Salman Khan, one of India’s biggest stars, has been sentenced to five years in jail after being held guilty of killing blackbuck while on a film shoot in Rajasthan 20 years ago.
A court in Jodhpur called him a “habitual offender”.
The 52-year-old actor was charged in 1998 with hunting the rare antelopes while filming “Hum Saath Saath Hain”.
His co-stars in that movie, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam, have been acquitted for lack of evidence.
In 2015, Salman Khan was cleared in a 2002 hit-and-run case in which his vehicle had crashed into men sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai.
