JODHPUR: Actor Salman Khan, who was sentenced to five years of imprisonment in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, faces threat to his life from prisoners in Jodhpur central jail, his lawyer claimed on Thursday.
Speaking to the media post a sessions court's verdict in Jodhpur, Salman's lawyer said he will appeal for suspension of sentence to the Sessions Court judge and inform the court about the threats Salman Khan has received from Jail.
In January, Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi of Rajasthan has issued a death threat to Salman Khan, saying the Bollywood actor will be killed in Jodhpur. "Salman Khan will be killed here, in Jodhpur... Then he will come to know about our real identity," Bishnoi had told media persons. Bishnoi's death threat to Salman was linked with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. It was the Bishnoi community which had brought up the black buck hunting case, and ever since the community considers the Bollywood actor a "villain".#BlackBuckPoachingCase We will appeal for suspension of sentence to the Sessions Court judge.
