The case under Arms Act was registered after the weapons, allegedly used by him for hunting down two blackbucks in 1998, had their licences expired. While a case against him for poaching a blackbuck near Jodhpur’s Kankani is still underway, the forest department filed a separate case under the Arms Act. This was during the time Salman Khan was shooting for the super hit movie ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ and in Kankani village, Rajasthan.

The actor, if found guilty and convicted, could be sentenced to jail for maximum seven years. He has already spent time in the Jodhpur jail in April 2006 and again in August 2007.
