In the wake of escalating tensions surrounding Salman Khan’s safety and recent events, the head of the Bishnoi community has issued a statement regarding the actor’s involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Here’s a breakdown of the latest developments.
Somy Ali’s Plea and Bishnoi Community’s Response
Former actress Somy Ali, Salman Khan’s ex-girlfriend, recently made a public plea on behalf of the actor, seeking forgiveness from the Bishnoi community for his actions in the blackbuck poaching case. In response, the President of the All India Bishnoi Society, Devendra Budiya, has issued an official statement.
Budiya emphasized that while Somy Ali’s apology is appreciated, the Bishnoi community awaits a direct apology from Salman Khan himself. He stated that the community would consider forgiveness only if Khan personally apologizes for his actions. Budiya outlined specific conditions for Khan’s apology, including a visit to the temple, a pledge to protect wildlife, and a commitment to environmental conservation.
1998 Blackbuck Poaching Case Recap
The incident in question dates back to 1998 during the shooting of the film “Hum Saath Saath Hain,” where Salman Khan was accused of hunting a blackbuck near Jodhpur. Khan, along with co-stars Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam, faced legal repercussions for their alleged involvement. Despite being sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment in 2018, Khan was granted bail shortly after.

Budiya urges Khan to take responsibility for his actions and seek reconciliation directly with the community, emphasizing the need to move forward while addressing past grievances.
