An Indian court on Wednesday acquitted Bollywood star Salman Khan in a case of keeping firearms illegally.
The court in the western Indian state of Rajasthan’s Jodhpur city held that the 51-year-old actor “not guilty’’ by giving him the “benefit of doubt.’’
It said that the prosecution had not been able to prove that he used firearms to kill endangered black bucks nearly two decades ago.
During the course of the trial, Khan’s lawyer had argued that the actor only possessed air guns and there was no evidence that he had used guns to kill two black bucks, a protected antelope species in India.
Soon after his acquittal, the actor tweeted thanking his fans for their support.
