The Jodhpur sessions court granted bail to Salman Khan in the blackbuck poaching case of 1998 with two bonds of Rs 50,000 each. However, the actor cannot leave the country without the court's permission and will have to return to the court on May 7 for another hearing.
Mahipal Bishnoi, the lawyer of Bishnoi community, asserted that Salman Khan will have to submit two bonds of Rs 25 thousand each and that they will now approach the Rajasthan High Court against bail granted to Salman Khan.
A Jodhpur court had convicted Khan for killing two blackbucks, an endangered species, almost 20 years ago while shooting for the film Hum Saath Saath Hain, and sentenced him to five years in jail. Actors Tabu, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam and Sonali Bendre were accused in the case as well but were acquitted of all charges.
