Web Desk (May 07,2018): Salman Khan arrived in Jodhpur yesterday for the hearing of his application, as he was due back in court on Monday.
Khan, one of the world’s highest-paid actors, was convicted last month of shooting dead two antelopes known as black bucks on a hunting trip while filming a movie in October 1998.
He was sentenced to five years in prison and spent two nights in Jodhpur Central Jail before being released on bail by a judge and returning to Mumbai — the home of India’s multi-billion-dollar Hindi film industry.
Khan is currently out on bail.
At Monday’s hearing Khan’s lawyer is expected to call for the sentence to be suspended pending an appeal.
On April 6 a court found him guilty in the 20-year-old case while acquitting four other actors.
