The Rajasthan High Court today granted bail to Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the Chinkara poaching case. Salman, who was arrested on last Saturday, is lodged in Jodhpur's Central Jail.
The star had earlier lost his appeal in the Jodhpur district and session against his sentence in the Chinkara poaching case handed out by the Chief Judicial Magistrate on April 10. The actor had been taken into police custody from Jodhpur airport last Saturday. Thereafter, the actor's lawyers filed an appeal against his 5-year jail sentence in the 1998 Chinkara poaching case.
After being absent from the court when his hearing was taking place, the actor had announced that he would be surrendering. He choose to rather than be arrested.
