Salman Khan Arms Act Case: Verdict To Be Pronounced Today, Could Face Up To 7 Years in Jail if Convicted

It’s an important day for Salman Khan. The Jodhpur Sessions Court will today pronounce the verdict in the Arms Act case against the actor.

For the uninitiated, a case was registered against the star under the Arms Act for alleged possession and use of arms with expired license during poaching of two blackbucks, a protected animal under the Wildlife Protection Act, at village Kankani near Jodhpur in October, 1998.

While Khan was found guilty by the lower court, he was acquitted by the High Court. Since the case is now in the Supreme Court's purview, the verdict will be final - Salman would either be convicted or he'll get away.

If Khan is convicted, he will face jail for seven years. Besides the blackbuck poaching case, Salman’s 2002 hit-and-run is still pending at the apex Indian court.
