For the uninitiated, in May 2019, the Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court had issued notices to the Hum Saath Saath Hain actors Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam Kothari and Tabu after they got acquitted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case on April 2018. They had been challenged by the state government stating that they were equally involved in killing the blackbucks. Salman Khan was the only one who got convicted under Section 51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act by the court along with a jail term of five years. Even though he had submitted a plea in defense. Reportedly, during the hearing his lawyer had told the court that all the actors were in a Gypsy at the night of the hunt with Salman in the driving seat. He spotted a herd of blackbucks and killed two of them.
