As Bollywood actor Salman Khan walked out of the prison on Saturday, a frenzied crowd gathered outside the Jodhpur Central Jail and burst firecrackers in celebration. Afterall, their superstar was finally granted bail by a sessions court. The 52-year-old actor had spent two consecutive days behind bars following his imprisonment in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
On the other hand, the Bishnoi community of Jodhpur did not seem to be too pleased. The members of the community were shocked and disappointed with the court's decision as they consider the blackbuck to be the reincarnation of their religious guru, Bhagwan Jambeshwar, and Khan had shot their revered antelope.
Before the Bishnoi friends could think further or find a way out, they see one of the men from behind giving a gun to Salman Khan, and a girl shouting, "Fire karo, Salman (open fire, Salman)!" Obliging his co-stars, the superstar shoots at a herd of blackbucks roaming near the Gypsy.
Another blackbuck falls down. Pained and perplexed over the sudden sequence of events, the Bishnoi friends shout at Salman and chase the Gypsy. Alas, the vehicle has sped away!
But, the duo is unwilling to get bogged down by the superstar's popularity. The two contact a forest official, and visit the forest department in the morning and file a complaint. (News18 Creatives by Mir Suhail)
