Salman Khan was arrested in 1998 for hunting two blackbucks in a village near Jodhpur, where he was shooting for Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Saath Saath Hai. A case under the Arms Acts was registered against him, and the court had demanded the submission of his arms licence. However, in 2003, he told the court that his licence had gone missing. The prosecution had argued that he had submitted a false affidavit as his licence was not lost but submitted for renewal.
This is the second time that the actor has been freed from the allegation. Earlier, the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate had also absolved him of the charge, after which the state had challenged the decision in the District and Sessions court. On Tuesday, Salman Khan reportedly apologised for submitting a false affidavit to the Jodhpur session court in 2003.
