| Bollywood star Salman Khan guilty of poaching | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| An Indian court has found Bollywood superstar Salman Khan guilty of poaching rare antelope back in 1998. | |
| Khan killed the two blackbucks, a protected species, in the western state of Rajasthan while shooting a film. | |
| Four other actors who starred with him in the movie and were also charged with the offence have been acquitted by the court in Jodhpur. | |
| Khan could now face between one and six years in jail. He can appeal against the verdict. | |
| This is far from the actor's first brush with the law. In December 2015 Khan was cleared in a 2002 hit-and-run case in which a homeless man died. | |
| This is the fourth case filed against the actor in connection with poaching animals during the filming of the 1998 movie Hum Saath Saath Hain. | |
| He has been acquitted in three of those cases. |
