Bollywood Star, Salman Khan, Jailed Five Years For Killing Antelopes

Bollywood star Salman Khan has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of killing rare antelopes in a 20-year-old poaching case.

The 52-year-old, who is one of the top ten best paid actors in the world, was convicted of shooting two blackbuck deer in a western India wildlife preserve in 1998.

Khan was in court for today’s ruling in Jodhpur, Rajasthan state, and is expected to be taken to a local prison while it could take days for his attorneys to appeal the conviction and seek bail.
