Salman Khan's conviction in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, where he was sentenced to five years in prison, sent shockwaves in the industry yesterday. When mid-day reached out to his father Salim Khan, he said, "The verdict has been given, so theek hai (it's okay). We'll see what needs to be done. I don't want to talk further on this matter." A Jodhpur court sentenced the actor to five years in prison and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, for killing two blackbucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur in October 1998.
