Bollywood box office king Salman Khan, who was recently acquitted in the Chinkara poaching case, will have to face a court trial yet again.

Salman had waged a 17 year long battle in the Chinkara poaching case which was lodged in 1999. After a number of hearings, the Rajasthan High Court has recently concluded that the actor was not guilty.

Now, the Rajasthan state govt has decided to file a petition in the Supreme Court, challenging the verdict given by the state’s High Court. With this unexpected move, Salman Khan will have to get prepared for yet another long battle, this time in the apex court.

On the work front, after scoring a blockbuster with ‘Sultan,’ Salman is currently shooting for ‘Tubelight’ in the direction of Kabir Khan. Next, Salman will start shooting for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai,’ which is a sequel to the actor’s earlier blockbuster ‘Ek Tha Tiger.’

The Bombay High Court has today said that the testimony of Ravindra Patil, the main witness in Salman Khan’s Hit and Run case seems to be unreliable and full of inconsistencies.

The court also highlighted that in the police statement recorded on the day of the accident, Ravindra Patil did not mention about Salman Khan being drunk, but the bodyguard added it only in his statement recorded after the reports on blood sample came, on 1st October 2012.

It is known that in May this year, a Sessions Court sentenced Salman Khan five years’ jail term. The actor immediately filed a plea in the High Court challenging the verdict. The case is still being heard in the High Court.
