Salman Khan Freed In Arms Act Case

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was today acquitted of all charges in the Arms Act case against him in the alleged poaching of two black bucks.

Salman Khan was given the benefit of doubt today by a court in Rajasthan's Jodhpur, which held him "not guilty" of keeping an unlicensed weapon and using it during an alleged deer hunt in 1998.

Salman came to the Jodhpur court with his sister Alvira. Within minutes, he was let off. The judge said the evidence against him was not strong enough.

Salman Khan's lawyer had argued that the actor only had air guns and there was no evidence that he had used firearms. An eyewitness for the prosecution never showed up. The judge also said two post mortem reports on the deer listed different causes of death - dog-bite and gunshot wound.

Minutes after the acquittal, the actor tweeted: "Thank you for all the support and good wishes."
