Jodhpur High Court to give verdict on Salman Khan's Blackbuck, Chinkara cases today

The Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur is expected to pronounce its verdict today in the blackbuck and Chinkara poaching cases related to Salman Khan.

Reportedly, the hearing of the cases in the Jodhpur HC has finished and the verdict will be out today. According to TimesNow, there are two possibilities coming out of the verdict.

One is that Salman Khan can walk free and the sentence will be lowered from 5 years and the second one is that if Salman is convicted, a warrant will be issued and he will be jailed. Earlier, Salman had filed an appeal before the High Court challenging the lower court's verdict that had handed him one and five years' imprisonment, respectively, in the two separate cases of poaching.

Salman and seven others are accused of killing a blackbuck and a chinkara in two separate incidents. One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur on September 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms on September 28, 1998. At that time, they were shooting for Sooraj Barjatya's family drama, 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

Will today's verdict bring a sigh of relief for Salman Khan is something we need to wait and watch.
