Jaipur: The Akhil Bharatiya Bishnoi Mahasabha national president Devendra Vishnoi on Thursday said that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is guilty as he killed Blackbuck and should apologise.
“He is guilty of the Bishnoi community as well as of the society. Killing blackbuck is a legal crime. Our Bishnoi community does not allow it. He is definitely guilty of the Bishnoi community. Our community has been bearing this pain for the last 24 years, and in such a situation, Salman Khan should apologise to Bishnoi society,” said Devendra Vishnoi.
He added that apologising to society does not make a person small, but he will ultimately have to apologise.
“If apologising brings peace and relief, then it is good work. Salman Khan should definitely apologise,” said Vishnoi.
In May this year, Somy Ali, a former actress and reportedly in a relationship with Salman Khan many years ago, said that the Bishnoi community should forgive Salman Khan.

In May 2024, she appealed to the Bishnoi community, emphasising the importance of forgiveness and requesting that they forgive Khan.
“Making mistakes is part of human nature. No one is perfect. But if you’re attempting to kill someone, then you’re crossing the line. Salman was much younger in 1998. I want to request the head of the Bishnoi tribe to forget about it and move on. I apologise on his behalf if he has made a mistake. Please forgive him,” the actress had said.
In 1998, during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hai, Salman Khan was involved in a hunting expedition where a Blackbuck was killed. The incident sparked controversy and legal proceedings, and the case is still pending in court.
Following the killing of Salman’s friend, politician Baba Siddique, security has been heightened around Salman Khan.
