Salman Khan and his Hum Saath Saath Hai co-stars, Sonali Bendre, Saif Ali Khan and Tabu were accused of poaching blackbucks during the shooting of their film in Jodhpur.

Earlier in January 2017, Salman had testified in 1998 case and pleaded not guilty. The actor, in his statement, had said “Only the first forensic report of Dr Nepalia saying that the animal died of “natural causes” was true and the rest of the evidence is false”.

It may be noted that prior to the statements by Ram and Mangi, the prosecution had read out the statements of Harish, Chogaram and Arun Yadav. The case was registered against Salman Khan on the charges of illegal weapons he used to kill two black bucks (Chinkara).

Last year, in September, 2 witnesses identified Salman and the other accused actors as culprits in the matter. Statements of witnesses Shera Ram and Mangi Lal were read out in the Jodhpur Court on Monday. The two men, in their statement, asserted that they heard gunshots in Kankani. Upon reaching the crime scene, they spotted actor Salman speeding away in a Maruti Gypsy and was holding a gun in his hand.

Due to shortage of time, the next hearing was postponed.
