Jodhpur Court gives Verdict in Arms Act Case against Salman Khan

Jodhpur's Chief Judicial Magistrate's court pronounced its verdict in the Arms Act case against the actor Salman Khan. The court acquitted him of wrongdoing giving him the actor the 'benefit of doubt'. This is one of the four cases against the actor. The Rajasthan High Court had earlier acquitted him in two cases of poaching of chinkara, trial in the third case of alleged poaching of two blackbucks is on.

Khan and his sister Alvira arrived on Tuesday evening. He appeared in the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
His counsel H M Saraswat said, "We had argued in the court that there was no evidence that Khan was carrying fire arms either during his stay here or during alleged poaching. What he was found in possession with, were actually the air guns."
Apart from the cases of poaching of endangered antelopes under Wildlife (Protection) Act, a case under sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act was filed against Khan for allegedly keeping and using the fire arms with expired licence in the poaching of blackbucks in Kankani near Jodhpur on October 1-2, 1998.
