Arms act case: Salman Khan's plea for witness re-examination dismissed by court

Jodhpur: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's plea for witness re-examination in the Arms Act case was dismissed by Jodhpur Sessions court today.

The case is an offshoot of the poaching cases against the 49-year-old actor who is accused of killing three chinkaras and a black buck on the midnight of October 1-2, 1998 during his stay in Jodhpur, while shooting for the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

Along with being charged under Wildlife Protection Act, the actor is also accused of carrying and using illegal arms in that incident. He is also alleged to have been carrying arms with expired licence.

Last week, the actor was convicted in 2002 hit-and-run case and was sentenced for five years in jail. The Bombay High Court later suspended the sentence and granted him bail in that case.
