Blackbuck died of natural cause, Salman Khan states in Jodhpur court

Salman Khan and other celebrities like Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam Kothari recorded their statements in Jodhpur court for allegedly killing a Blackbuck during the shooting of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Almost after 19 years, they have been asked to record their statements in this case. Salman has denied all the charges and said that he is not guilty. Apart from that, he has said in his statement that Blackbuck died of natural causes.

As per reports, Salman said, “Only the first forensic report of Dr Nepalia saying that the animal died of “natural causes” was true and the rest of the evidence is false.” For most of the questions asked about the allegations levied by the prosecution, Salman answered as ‘galat’ (not true) in front of the magistrate.
