Actors Salman Khan, 4 others to record statements in 18-year-old black buck poaching case

Bollywood actors Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam will record their statements before the chief judicial magistrate court (Jodhpur District) on Friday in the 18-year-old black buck poaching case.

On January 13, the court had ordered the five accused actors to appear before it on January 25 to record their statements, but their counsel filed an application for exemption from appearance. The court then ordered the accused to appear on January 27.

Salman Khan’s counsel Hastimal Sarswat told Hindustan Times that the prosecution has examined only 28 witnesses of the total 51. If required, the defence side would be given a chance after the accused statements are recorded.
