Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu receive fresh notice form Rajasthan HC regarding the Blackbuck Poaching Case!

It was in 1998 when stars Salman Khan, Sai Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari were accused of killing a blackbuck and a chinkara in two separate incidents. The stars were shooting for Hum Saath Saath Hai. One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur on September 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms on September 28, 1998.

After sending a notice in March, the Rajasthan HC has issued yet another notice to Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam Kothari, Tabu and Dushyant Singh on a plea filed by the government against their acquittal by a Chief Judicial Magistrate or district court in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. ANI reports that the hearing on this case will begin after eight weeks.

The first time when Salman had appeared before the court in the hearing of this case, his statement was, "We saw a wounded deer. I stepped out of the jeep and fed the deer a biscuit. That’s all that happened. Then we drove off." However, while the Rajasthan HC convicted Salman in April last year, all the other accused were freed of any charges until the government challenged their acquittal.

Word is that the reason behind the acquittal of Saif, Tabu, Sonali, Neelam, and Dushyant could be because of the difficulty in furnishing any evidence linking their involvement in killing the blackbuck. It's left to see what turn this case takes hereafter.
