A Jodhpur court on Wednesday exempted Salman Khan and the co-accused from making a personal appearance in the blackbuck poaching case and posted the matter to January 27.
Chief Judicial Magistrate (District) Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit had summoned Salman and co-accused Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, and Sonali Bendre for recording their statements in the case filed against them for the alleged poaching of two blackbucks at Kankani village in 1998.
“We moved a joint application on behalf of all accused seeking exemption from appearance in the court for today and the court allowed it,” said Defence Counsel K.K. Vyas.
He said police had expressed their inability to provide adequate security to the actors in the court on account of the presence of the Chief Minister and the Governor in the city for Republic Day celebrations.
