Rajasthan govt sought enhancement of the one-year prison sentence awarded to Salman for poaching.
Jodhpur: The Rajasthan government on Monday sought enhancement of the one-year prison sentence awarded to Bollywood actor Salman Khan by a local court for poaching a chinkara (species of gazelle).
Actor-comedian Satish Shah and six others acquitted in the case.
The Rajasthan government filed a petition in the High Court's main bench challenging the February 17 verdict of Chief Judicial Magistrate B K Jain sentencing Salman to a year in jail.
Salman killed the chinkara in September 1998 in Bhavad village, Jodhpur.
The court had also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on Salman while acquitting actor-comedian Satish Shah and others - Kuldeep Singh, Mohd Hussain, Yashpal Singh, Mahendra Pal Singh alias Rajubana, Dushyant Singh and M S Bhati.
