Blackbuck poaching case: Salman Khan will have to seek court's permission each time he travels abroad

Bollywood's bad boy courted controversy last year when he had 2 FIRs slapped against him for using the word "bhangi" on a public platform. However, the 'Dabangg' actor is no stranger to controversy.

In 1998, two separate cases were registered against Khan under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act after he allegedly poached three chinkaras - two in Bhawad village, and one in Mathania (Ghoda Farm) during the shooting of the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. Along with him, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Dushyant Singh were also named in the case.

The same year, in October, he was charged with possessing an unlicensed 0.22 rifle and a 0.32 revolver and using them to poach two black bucks at Jodhpur's Kankani village.

In September 2002, the 'Sultan' star was accused of running his car over a group of people sleeping on a sidewalk outside a bakery in Mumbai's Bandra locality.

Shilpa Shetty-Kundra found herself in a sticky spot for making a disparaging remark and hurting the sentiments of the Scheduled Caste community. An FIR was filed against the actor-turned-entrepreneur for her quote in an interview, "I look like a bhangi". The FIR against her alleged that she was encouraging and spreading ill-feeling among the entire society. Later the actress has posted an apology on Twitter, too.

Earlier this year in March, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was accused of spying on his estranged wife and acquiring her call detail records (CDR).

Shah Rukh Khan was booked for allegedly 'rioting' and 'damaging' railway property during the promotion of his film 'Raees' at Kota Railway station.

In 2002, he was caught on camera misbehaving with the Mumbai Cricket Association officials and manhandling a security personnel at the Wankhede Stadium.

Earlier this year, the Lingaraj Temple authorities in Bhubaneswar, filed a complaint against the actress, accusing her of shooting for an advertisement in the 'no-camera zone' inside the temple premises.

Govinda was charged with slapping a visitor on the sets of his film 'Money Hai Toh Honey Hai.' The 2008-slapping case was closed by the Supreme Court in 2017.

Women of the Khan family showed up in full support during the court proceedings. Times Now also reported that the sisters Arpita (left) and Alvira Khan were sitting right next to him through the hearing. Alvira, who is married to actor-turned-producer Atul Agnihoti, reportedly consoled him while the judge read the sentence out.

For fellow actor Saif Ali Khan, also accused along with Salman, there was some relief. Chhote Nawab, dressed in white, was seen minus wife Kareena during his court appearance. Saif had starred as Salman's younger brother in the Sooraj Barjatya family drama 'Hum Saath Saath Hai'. The incident had occurred in 1998 when the stars were shooting in Jodhpur for the film.

Sonali Bendre, who was also a co-accused in the case, arrived in court, wearing a printed, pastel-blue kurta with palazzo pants. The model-turned-actress had producer-husband Goldie Behl by her side in court. Bendre had starred as Salman's love interest in the Barjatya family drama.

Thursday brought relief for Tabu, another co-accused in the case. The 'Maqbool' actress, who was clad in a black chudidaar-kurta with a gumcha-style dupatta, had a sombre look while entering the court premises. Tabu had starred as Salman's sister-in-law in the film, during the shoot of which the incident had occurred.

For yesteryear actress Neelam Kothari, the verdict brought much relief. Her husband Samir Soni hailed the verdict. However, in a phone interview to Times Now, he expressed surprise at one person being singled out. "I'm happy for Neelam and the rest of us, but very disappointed for Salman," he said.

Neelam was seen attending the court in an orange kurta with white chudidaar. Soni replicated Salman Khan in black t-shirt and blue jeans.
