Salman Khan Files A Rs 100-Cr Defamation Suit Against A TV Channel In Relation To The Chinkara Case

Salman Khan was recently in the news when he backed Pakistani actors, and talked about how they're not terrorists, and it's our government that gives them visas. Bhai is back in the news, but this time it's because he's filed a Rs 100 crore defamation case against a TV news channel!?

According to a report in Hindustan Times, Salman has filed the defamation suit in Bombay High Court. The suit had been filed before a division bench of the HC in August this year, wherein Khan claimed a sting operation conducted by the channel in the 1998 chinkara poaching case was malicious and defamatory. And now Salman wants the channel to refrain from releasing the sting operation. The channel claimed in the sting operation that “witnesses claimed they saw Khan shoot the endangered chinkaras in Jodhpur”. However, later the “witness/es turned hostile and claimed the video was doctored”.
